My Canvas snaps are getting harder to unsnap, what is the best method to
keep these in good shape?

Starbrite makes a snap and zipper lubricant, which is available at West
Marine. I keep a tube on board and it works fine.

I've also been told that bee's wax is another good alternative. Really, any
lubricant or waxy substance will do the job. The key is to find a product
that allows for easy application to the snap itself without getting the
product all over the surrounding gelcoat or canvas. This particular issue
makes Richard's recommendation of Chapstick a good one. It's very easy to
apply to the snap and keep it localized. A little dab'll do ya. The
downside is that it doesn't last as long as other choices made specifically
for the task.
