BC I have come to this thread really late having been away a few days. I take it you have a vacuum cleaner nozzle stuck inside the other end of the pipe.

Vaseline and other slippery substances will not help get it off, they only have limited use and should be applied before the two ends are engaged. They also might dry out a bit and exacerbate (lovely word) the problem.

My usual solution to the probelm is to place one end of the pipe into a vise (you know the contraption the male member of the family has on the bench in the shed). May sure it is squezed fairly tightly and then hold onto the other end and twist.

You might like to try spraying WD40 or CRC around the joint for added lubrication.

Give it a go.

oh, ok lol

The bottom one hun lol

whispers....which one did you use Rach? Was it the bottom one or........the bottom one?>>>>>>runs

*looks in mirror* mm it works lol

Got me bottom butter see you all later lololol

I said tap not bang one track mind you have Mrs...lol

pmsl I just googled vacume cleaner attatchment stuck....seem a little man got himself in trouble...say no more.

Marion I thought cold too, but I seem to remember that when I did it, the one that worked was hot... trying to remember if what i did was lay it in the bath, or just pour the kettle water over the join????

Mind your hands BC !

xx

*stands with one bucket hot and one bucket cold water...yes right......

Do you think firemen use bottom butter?Might help them get down their poles faster....


BC ..getting back to your nozzle, I would think cooling it would free it up.
heat might expand it

By a strange coincidence,Thelma has just had two hoover tubes stuck together.
I told her about Chubby Checker.
She told me where she would shove them!
Do you think wrinkle cream will help me.

I shall try all those helpful suggestions. I broke the last one by banging it on the sink....lol...XX

Hi BC :O).......have you tried wearing rubber gloves and twisting?.....put Chubby Checker on lol XX

tap it on the sink it will come loose ...

had a read back BC...are we talking hoover nozzles stuck together here?

If so have you tried laying them in very hot water? warms the plastic and then may come apart?

xx

*glum....unfortunately my nozzle is stuck fast in spite of being vaseline coated. Have tried banging it but no luck....time to ring Mau's OH.....lolol....XX

I just looked up that Bottom Butter.It's only £2.49.Sounds a bargain lol

How's the nozzle BC? OH says he'll come around anytime you're stuck lol

In the past i've used Duraglit (or metal polisher),sounds odd I know but it does slip off and on easier :O) XX....good luck me dear lol
