zipper aligning
Hi people!, So it's my time to go toe to toe with zippers.
So im designing this wallet. This is the second prototype. Nerly there. So I made a wood block, to put inside the wallet, to align the zipper. But, its still looks kinda bad. So, my new idea, after searching the internet, is to make a block, with a 5mm slit ind the middle, to help me center the zipper.
And here comes my question. Should the block, be 100% same size as the template? or just a little smaller/bigger?
Also, is 1.5cm/3/5 inches thickness of the block standard size or?
Zipper is a little wonky :D

I don't think the Bolide uses a block form to install the zip, so probably not necessary. If it does use some kind of form, it would probably have to be a 3 piece block so it can be removed after the zip is installed.
