Apr 20, 2017 at 14:25 comment added Neal Wouldn't a family with a singularity degenerating to nontransverse intersection provide a counterexample? For example, a family of "teardrop" domains in the plane, where the teardrop angle goes to zero.
Apr 20, 2017 at 13:26 comment added Math101 @ThomasRot Yes, indeed. I forgot to put the assumption. Also by a universal constant, I meant a constant independent of the family of manifolds under consideration.

Apr 20, 2017 at 13:02 comment added Thomas Rot you probably want to mumble compact if you want a universal constant for one manifold.

Apr 20, 2017 at 12:15 comment added Math101 @MikeMiller thanks for your remark. I agree that the question was very ambiguous. Please see the edited version.

Apr 20, 2017 at 11:33 comment added mme It's not super clear to me what a collar neighborhood theorem means here. Does the unit square have a collar neighborhood? (Certainly I can't see the corner singularities on the interior.) One thing that is clearly true is that each smooth face has a collar neighborhood (this is obvious for the square).
Apr 20, 2017 at 11:03 comment added ಠ_ಠ I'm no expert, but there's a collar neighbourhood theorem for topological manifolds. Might be worth looking at the proof to see if you can adapt their ideas.
