Now, I really have to see the cane. Does heat shrink come large enough to go over the handle?

Ah, how about a low temperature heat shrink? A poly-olaphan (spelling) should be a. less slippery than PVC or Teflon b. low enough temp that it will not melt the handle underneath C. be a complete barrier over the deteriorating sponge grip. If the sponge grip is not destroyed, it will provide cushion as well. Otherwise, maybe a stick on saran wrap type material? On Sat, 17 Apr 2010, Lenny McHugh wrote: > I did not see the cane.
