[nfbwatlk] Hint for Telescoping Cane Maintenance

Tue Nov 11 03:14:11 UTC 2008

I have used a little sewing machine oil on it applying a little
with a soft cloth.  It seems to help it a lot.  Of course I tried
other things first that put me in a hurt.  LOL

I kind of twist each section before collapsing it.  It saves wear
and tare
on the joints.

It doesn't look awful and I have asked people who would tell me.
The trick
is to do it tightly.  I had used some other tape and it wasn't
nearly as
good, and it **did look awful.

I don't have any hints re your other question, Mike.

That probably looks awful. 
Does anyone have any hints for when the laster skinniest section
is stuck
out and won't go back in, even when you smash it down as hard as
you can?

Hello, Everyone,

As some of you know, I love to hit the tip of my cane on the
ground to
telescope it.  Often the twist method doesn't work.  Well,
obviously, this
method is hard on the top and inevitably, it breaks.  The
solution---------electrical tape wound around the top.  It is
smooth and not
irritating to the hand.  I now have two "fixed" canes which
should last a
long time, barring any door-cracking  accidents.
