How to couple two poles to make a quick extension pole?

I don't suppose it would be diplomatic to ask what *kinds* of books?

Just let them get married and be done with it.

"Foundations of the Stereoscopic Cinema" and a book on embedded controller design.

Now, there's an interesting combination. I'm glad I asked.

I've been having great luck with a little tube of spark-plug-wire goop from the autoparts store.

Dielectric grease, that's it.

That works... There's also Ideal "Noalox" compound that is made for electrical connections.

But most people don't have the presence of mind, or the materials on hand, to goop up every lightbulb base as they replace burnt out lamps. Installing better fixture sockets and buying better bulbs is the proper long-term solution.

Ford recommends it as a brake and caliper lube instead of the high- temp grease they used to sell. Be careful about using it in an electronics facility, though, because it can interfere with soldering. Silicones like this are prohibited on subs because the vapor creates abrasive SiC in the sparks of electric motor brushes.

But where does the average guy find sockets and/or bulbs that are not made in China of recicled pop cans???????

Buying quality in North America gets more difficult by the day. Even the industrial suppliers are peddling the cheap crap.
