How should the zipper teeth be removed in handmade leather goods making?

Many leather goods design will be used in the metal zipper, and the length of the commercially available zipper usually can not fully meet our requirements, then you can only buy a longer zipper and then remove the extra zipper teeth, and then install the upper and lower stops (installation of the upper and lower stops only need to use sharp pliers to clamp, and then hammer a knock, very simple. (However, we should note that it is best to use toothless pliers, this kind of pliers smooth without horizontal lines, will not scratch the upper and lower stops).

Back to unloading teeth, some people like to use pliers to hold the zipper teeth hard pull, that will damage the cloth belt, do not recommend this practice. In fact, we just need a pair of diagonal pliers, find the right place to cut the zipper teeth, the teeth will naturally fall off, and will not damage the fabric tape.
