[Blindtlk] Help With Canes

[Bryan Schulz]

hi,

depends how long the last section is.
use a hacksaw to cut a little bit off the end and maybe use a file to make 
it square then if the hole that is now farther up is too big for the screw, 
you may have to use epoxy or shoe-goo to hold the screw in again.
