I noticed a couple weeks ago that one of my ZPacks poles had a loose sleeve that is usually glued in?, in one end of a section. It had loosened up and slid inside further on the one pole section. I was able to shake it down enough to pull it out and hold it in place so I could insert it into the next section so I could erect my shelter. I was out Saturday night along the PCT and when I was setting my Solplex up, remembered I needed to fix it before my vacation in July. Could not find any help online. Search words/phrases?

Glue/expoxy for carbon fiber tent pole sleeve insert thingy

Normally there are carbon fiber ferrules that are glued to the inside of the pole sections. If you can get the ferrule out, it would take only a drop of any kind of epoxy glue, spread thinly, and then get the thing pushed back into place.
If you can't get the ferrule out, then ask Zpacks. They probably have to answer that a lot.

I've been able to get at it, so was surprised it had not moved when I was setting up last night. I should take a note book with, so I can check later, getting too old to try to remember stuff. My thinking was I only needed a little glue.

Any epoxy or superglue will work.

Thank you Roger, forgot to go by the hardware store after work.
