I always stick a 4 inch nail in the top and cover with some tape. Just used some that I sealed up over 2 years ago. peeled of the tape/removed the nail and put it in the gun. Pumps pefectly first try.
Thanks a lot for this very helpful video. Much appreciated. I thought it might also be a good idea to put a date on the tube so you'll know just how long the silicone has been curing.
Great tip! Well made, and a bit funny! And, myself being a Yank, I always love hearing Brits talk with their accent! Thank you sir for your contribution!! {liked.saved.subscribed=True}👍✌
I wish you would have shown us how that tube of silicone look a couple of weeks later. That way we could see how well your method seal the tube of silicone and how easy it would be to pull out the dried-up silicone left on that rubber finger. Anyway, thanks for the tip! I'm gonna give it a try!
Good point. As with anything (even food) once you open something it will start to go off, the quicker you can use it all up the better. This definitely helps but it won’t last forever
Surely the polythene is the only useful thing. The nozzle could be scraped and flushed out after use. As long as the end is clear there wont be any problems.
I generally do what this guy did for the tube, and leave the nozzle open for silicone that it. Come back in a week, remove the nozzle and pull out the cured silicone, refit the nozzle and off you go.
I like saving money but not the inconvenience; for instance, while you're doing all of that, the water leak in the kitchen is getting worse by the second. I just bought 12 nozzle end caps and 5 threaded tube caps from eBay, cost me just under £6 in total... 👍🏻
Naaaah……just wrap some paper towel around the end, put a rubber band around it, when you next use it, take that off and stick an old screwdriver down the whole to dislodge the gunk, what (if any) you waste is way less than all this glove finger / plastic bag Hollywood epic 😎

I found that if I apply some silicone around the thread of the base it will seal there so only need to worry about the very end
I always stick a 4 inch nail in the top and cover with some tape. Just used some that I sealed up over 2 years ago. peeled of the tape/removed the nail and put it in the gun. Pumps pefectly first try.

Yeh good idea, it doesn’t last forever but certainly helps
Is it only me that found the positioning of the caulk gun at 1:12 quite comical in a Carry On film kind of way? 😂
Oh yeh, hadn't even realised. Just needs a good Sid James cackle to go with it and Babs saying 'Saucy'! 😆
@@LurgsHowToGuides true 😂 Anyway, thanks for the tip, I'll try it tomorrow! keep up the good work 😊
@@ObjectiveDynamics Cheers. Infamy infamy, they've all got it infamy. All the best.
Nope, I thought the same THING... It's reassuring I'm not the only one who went there.
_Exactly_ what I was thinking! ... Good one, bro - beat me to what I was going to comment here.
I normally use a glad wrap bag or Cling Wrap and wrap it over the hole, and then screw the nozzle on

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Off now to make a cup of tea! 🏴🇺🇸

The cuppa at the end is well worth a like
Cheers 😎
Good idea. At the price of silicon a good money saver
Cheers. 😎
Brilliant advice. Thanks.
Cheers 😎
And your nozzle will crack! Right at the thread! :-))) I had it a couple of times before, so I only cover the top of the nozzle!
I don't see the point in sealing the nozzle and the base. Just remove the nozzle, seal the base, then clean out the nozzle.

Thank you
I found an easier and better way to do it: Cover the opened part of the tube with dripping candle wax. The contents inside will NEVER dry.

Good idea. Once you open anything you need to use it up as it doesn't keep
Great tip. Cheers for sharing. 👌👍
Glad I could help
🤣😂🤣 Well earned cuppa ☕️ mate 👏👏👏 Brilliant 🤩
Thanks. Yes a well earned cup of tea!😎
Thank you 😍
No problem 😎
Some caulks nozzles don’t come off
Most don't
@@thesenewythandlessuck Most do here, so.
Thanks!
Glad it helped 😎
Hi there. Thanks for sharing. Would kitchen cling film work for both parts you are trying to protect? Thank you again. Ana
Yes should help. Caulk and silicone once opened will start to go off but this definitely helps.

It’s only 13,000 but thanks for the support ❤️
Naaaah……just wrap some paper towel around the end, put a rubber band around it, when you next use it, take that off and stick an old screwdriver down the whole to dislodge the gunk, what (if any) you waste is way less than all this glove finger / plastic bag Hollywood epic 😎
I've done this loads of times and every time it's dried up and no good so I'm going to give this ago
This is to wasteful don't used this method
I just use double plastic food wrap and squeeze a bit out and then cover it with the saran style wrap and a rubber band.
