I've noticed that now that there's a shortage of everything not only is it hard to find a specialist who could do the work, products themselves often arrive somewhat defective. The other day we bought an indoor tent for our toddler. The frame is composed of wooden sticks with some having an aluminium tube glued at the end to connect it to another stick. One of the tubes was slightly damaged, so the other stick wouldn't go in. Fortunately the ceramic base of a (broken) LED bulb is harder than aluminium, so after some twisting I managed to file down the tube to size.
