Fixing things 02-24-25

After 25 Years I still miss my late husband, Floyd, in many ways.  And one big lack is his handiness.   His degrees were in Mechanical Engineering,  but he had a natural curiosity and ability to figure out how to make or fix just about anything.  Based on our years together, I can sometimes come up with a fix for something, but don't have the skill or dexterity to carry it out.  I bought a collapsible cane to always carry in my car, but it doesn't have enough of a hook to hang it on anything.  I need some kind of material to form a lump on the long side of the handle.  I know there must be something on the market that would be formable and permanently stick to the plastic.   Any Ideas?  

                                     

I am FINALLY recovering from the RSV virus.  Today we did 5511 steps/2.35 miles walking in the park and around the neighborhood.  I also went to my Fitness appointment and felt energized when I walked out.  Good progress.

I’m so glad you’re feeling better! I have a foldable cane, too. It doesn’t have a hook. And no clamp to keep it together when folded. I crocheted a tall narrow bag to stow it in when I fold it. Just now, Google tells me that there are things called “table hooks for a cane”. Dottie

I once used a product called moldable glue (it was for a loose plug, I think). It came in black. I can't remember how hard it dried.
