Glass fibre as far as I know.
Buy a broom thats got a plastic screw thread into the brush and remove it, find where it best fits the zensorflex diameter , somewhere on 3rd section I think, cut the pole and araldite the plastic screw thread in, attach angle adapter anb brush and you're done

Zensorflex isn't that long, you want the Gangsta for a longer pole or combine both for even more length.

I would probably say that margin poles are the best poles to convert as they have slightly thicker walls and you can get the extensions to make them longer  ;)

min RT Zflex is now approaching its first birthday   ;D ;D i will make a post ;)

h ttp://wfpole.110mb.com/

OR

h ttp://wfpole2.110mb.com

shows how its done, i allways connect a bit of unger pole to the end, that way i can attach a unger cone with the brush fitting, unger scraper and the gutter scoop

as for fixing a cracked joint, i just use superglue around the area, worked a treat

It fits on the end of the No4 section Zensorflex and is about 22mmID just under 7/8"

It also fits over the unger no1 section, wrap some tape round to take up the slack.

The Zensor though glassfibre will not give you splinters.

King kong, Browning do a very good Margin pole its a 8m (bit expensive) but as you say you can get extensions.(the extension I bought and misused has gradually got splits) The Gangster also has the thicker fairly substantial composite 1.5mm walls
From memory alternating the sections of the Zensor and Gangster combined will give you a temporary height of 30-31ft not very stiff but ok when used vertical for the odd job. If you need to go higher get a 42ft  F16 for£249 or SL2 or Emporium Ultralight.

Hi Alan,
thanks for the info,i take it that the 25mm one is a threaded extender for the plastic adjustable neck by its picture and description  ;)
