Hi Cliff, The shoot is made of metal heat duct material. I don't thing clothes are getting stuck because of the sides of the shoot being rough but, rather, from metal snags and nailheads that have backed out over time. I'm hoping someone makes some kind of insert that would simply slide up into the existing shoot. Take care, Ed

If you suspect that rust has appeared on a metal liner, you might try 10-w-40, with a follow up wipe. If you think lent may have built up, a thorough cleaning with a vacuum cleaner or a scrubbing with a mop, might just do the trick. If none of these work, get yourself a rock, just small enough to fit in to the top of the shoot, rap it with a thin coat of steal wool, and drop that sucker through the shoot a dozen times. Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson ----- Original Message ----- From: Edward Przybylek To: BlindHandyMan Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2007 1:10 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Laundry Shoot Repair Hi all, The laundry shoot in my home is beginning to snag clothing on it's way down the shoot. Trying to replace the shoot is out of the question since it would require breaking through some walls. Are there any tools or techniques that can be used to smoothe the inner walls of a laundry shoot? Are there inserts made that could replace the inner wall of a shoot without requiring that the shoot be removed? Any help greatly appreciated.
