- Crash of a section
-
- If not too long, a crash is repaired with reinforcement.
- The reinforcement is done with a part cut from another
pole of similar section. A fiberglass part can be used.
If no spare part can be found, buy a smaller and cheaper
fiberglass pole from which the relevant part could be cut.
- For defining the place to cut the reinforcement a slide
caliper is necessary to measure precisely the thickness
and the diameters. Then the place to cut is calculated.
- Let the length of the reinforcement extent 3 times the
diameter over the crash area.
- Remove external varnish by sandpaper. Degrease surfaces.
- Paste the pole and insert the reinforcement part. Turn
smoothly when inserting in the pasted area. Push until there
is a close contact. Remove paste in excess. Tape each end
of the reinforcement.
- When harden, remove the tape and file smoothly each
end of the reinforcement.
-
- Note that some long poles trademarks can supply spare
sections.

may not nest anymore.
