knocking pole joint

[baxter1959]

No jokes please as its doing my head in!!!
Got a problem with a joint 9mtr/11mtr section making a knocking noise every time i strike, anyone else had same problem? got a solution?

I made sure joints are very clean and fitted together snug but still the same problem.
Would appreciate advice on this one.
Cheers

At a guess I would say you have a small crack in the section give it a real good clean and check it over

I had that clicking noise when cupping out large pots a few days later it went bang

i've had this with couple sections, to make sure it only the joint knockin an not a crack, try smearin film of candle wax on, it stopped mine straight away

wouldn't surprise me if it is a maver pole!

my maver was knocking it did my head in so i had to let it back in the house

clicking = split somewhere ...probably inside of male, only visible when gently squeezed.
knocking = uneven joint/foreign body in joint, joint not fitting properly for some reason.....could try candle wax/ptfe on male joint.

Try PTFE tape first (but not too much!). Amazing stuff

try a strip of e-bay style packing tape on the male section.
I use it on all my sections.
Don't knock it till you've tried it. :0)
