evening people been a member for a while but never posted i going to purchase the clx 22 but how easy is it to fix the mistery glue problem  do you have to leave the glue overnight or do you do it on the job and carry on what do you have to glue iam using an impressor pole at the moment
                                              cheers.

It's best to leave it over night, if you are on the job and a clamp comes loose, just wrap some duck tape around it till you can glue it back on, Ive got a clamp that has been taped on and it's been like it for a month now

[mikey]

thanks lee do you know how much difference in the weight is it massively difference because my pole is getting quite heavy

[SPE]

araldite (2 part epoxy resin )
had to re glue 3 clamps so far, I glue in the evening then wrap a couple of layers of electrical tape over it whilst setting. good to go by morning.
 If it happens whilst you are out working, stick it with electrical tape also as a temporary measure, you can still work with it.

cheers spe iam going to buy one now i was a bit sceptic i thought the pole would not work at all but now i know you can use electical tape and carry on thats fine by me    cheers

thanks lee do you know how much difference in the weight is it massively difference because my pole is getting quite heavy

What pole have you got now?

[mikey]

i have a premium impressor pole 24f

[Lee GLS]

I don't know what they weigh, but the clx's are usually lighter than other poles unless it's a carbon fibre pole

[mikey]

its heavy byersan is written on it but i am heavy handed and i have dropped the pole threw the pole all over they are very strong poles good for begginers i have had it for a year and i have been slowly getting to gently handle the pole i dont want a carbon fibre iam not ready for carbon fibre i have been told the carbon fibre brake easily when dropped i think the clx would be a bit more stronger.

My slx (carbon) has been abused daily for over 3 years & still going strong. Not even a broken clamp!

[mikey]

2 months i have pondered over this i may have to toss a coin

What's the length of your current pole?

I use a 25ft slx for everything from ground to 30ft, don't need a short pole.

[mikey]

24f but i need a 22f for down stairs and they collapse real small just the job 27 to big

I've always used araldite, swear by it. However I needed to glue a pole clamp and used Locktite super glue (with a resin stick applicator and glue), dries within  1 hour. It's good stuff, clamp hasn't come apart like I thought it would as I did it in the rain.

IMO (taking modular poles out of the equasion) the carbon poles will take just as much, if not more hammer than composite/glass poles.

If funds permit & you want the easiest life possible then I would go with carbon (slx). If you're not that bothered but want something better & lighter than your current pole then the clx would a good option also.

[mikey]

i thought that they would be strong the carbon i mean. its the person who i asked about looked away at his clx and said my poles better i will decide at the end of the month

[dazmond]

just get a clx and be done with it!!you ll never go back to the big heavy thing you ve got at the moment for normal domestics!get a supalite dual trim flocked/mono brush(whatever takes your fancy!)as well!!


trust me you wont look back!!i think their only about £150 with delivery.

[mikey]

yeh you know what iam going too do that  i think i would smash a carbon thanks for you help lads     mikey
