Gardiners quikloc

[Den]

recently brought three new gardiner brushes and the quikloc is super stiff on all of them though I was going to snap the gooseneck at one point. Im no 7 stone weaklin but they are 100% not quikloc anyone recently bought a brush with the quikloc and had the same problem.

Yep mine were so tight It wouldn't even reach the quick lock button. Tried getting it off and there was no chance like there half a mm too small /emoticons/sad.png

i also bought an extra quikloc for a diy applicator also that was the same.

I've suffered this as well in the past. However, the last ones I got were perfect.

What I did with the old tight ones was to sand down three sides of the male part of the joint till I had a easy fit. I used a block of wood and some coarse sandpaper

i swapped them with my old brushes, but i still used my old brushes for my van and a customers render wall as the birds keep shittteeing off her tv Ariel.

I've also had this problem before and having previously been in the plastics manufacturing industry for 20 years, the problem is during manufacturing. Injection moulding parts that fit together, male & female, requires very consistent tolerances and the best way to keep these tolerances due to the shrinkage of plastic, is to place the hot plastic parts on to a pre formed jig.

You can place the brush female socket part in to your oven at 150c and get it nice and warm and place it on to male quicloc to cool down and shrink on to that.
