top twos are stuck!

[Lopz]

hi all,

the top two sections of my pole were elasticated when I bought it second hand. Recently they got stuck (the first section would not come back down through the second section) and i couldn't get the bung out so i cut the elastic. Problem is it is still stuck. The first section moves about 6 inches down through the second section then just jams. Any ideas?

 

Also

when trying to elasticate another spare top section the elastic gets stuck about halfway down the first section although the diamond eyed threader goes all the way through(it does need a firm push at the point where the elastic gets stuck)what can be causing this blockage?

any help?

thanks

Garden shredder works every time place the top two in and follow up with the rest.

Top tip watch your fingers.

Then claim on the insurance and get your self a ROD.

Have you or the previous owner been using washing up liquid as a lubricant?

All you dirty minded readers keep out of this

Don't know if washing up lquid used - i haven't used it. Could it be that some of the elastic remains and is stuck in the gap between the sections and this is causing the sections to jam? If so anybody got any ideas

Thanks
