28-135 IS Lens hood Sticking

[Brian Mackey]

Has anyone had any problems with this lens hood ? It seems to be getting very hard to take on and off, and with the Canon lens ~wiggle~ I dont want to add any extra stress to an already loose design

thanks :)

The hood for my 24-85 was getting sticky so I cleaned it with alcohol then rubbed the mating area with wax (a candle). It works fine now.

Btw, I tried silicone spray and it did not work well.
