I appreciate the thoroughness of your explanations. This really is the best video, so far, because you don't assume people already know everything, and you explain important details a beginner NEEDS to know.
Appreciate you for the feedback. That’s the goal. Glad it helped.
Love it. This is the most thorough and interesting thing I have ever seen . This guy is the real deal
Appreciate the feedback. Glad it helped.
This my first time using a chaulking gun, thank you so much for you tutorial. You explained it nice and clearly to follow step by step. 👍👌
Glad it helped. You’re welcome.
A great instructional video on a caulking gun for guys like me. it may seem like a no-brainer for most, but for first time users like me, I found the little things to make my life easier with this tool! The tip about the tip-cutter hole is the first time I heard about it after watching several similar vids! I also appreciate you showing the types of caulking guns and their differences. Thanks!!
Glad it helped.
This is THE BEST caulking video I’ve watched all day & I’ve watched quite a few to figure out WTheck I’m doing wrong & you are the one who covered it! Thank you!!🙏
Glad it helped. Thank you.
Put a nail or screw in the end to seal the caulk and use again later so it doesn’t dry out. Also, there’s tools you can use to make a great line other than your finger like a Cramer Profiling kit. Great video! Thanks!!
Great tips thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. It will be my first time using a Caulking gun and was a little nervous. But not anymore. Your video was so helpful for me. Again thank you
You’re welcome. Glad it helped.
I am gonna be using the tool for the first time today and this was a great tutorial. Thanks!!
No prob. Glad it helped.
Clear, concise and to the point. No fuss, just the facts. Thanks and Cheers from the Land Down Under.
Glad it helped.
Thank you so much. I couldn't squeeze those little tubes anymore, so my brother bought me a simple caulk tool. Your tutorial will help a lot.
Glad it helped.
Literally I’ve been suffering for 2 hours figuring how to use it 😂😂😂, thank you so much for the instructions. Have a great day !!
Glad it helped.
This was so helpful. Thank you! First time homeowner learning about DIY.
Glad it helped. You got this.
I saw a video which suggested you take painters tape (the blue kind), and tape it above the area that you're caulking. That way you'll have a nice even, smooth caulk line after you're finished and pull the tape off!
Sounds like a good tip to me.
You are a great teacher made my job much easier thanks for your time .
Glad it helped.
THANK YOU!!! First time here. You give easy and clear instructions that even I could understand!!! Blessings❤
You’re welcome. Glad it helped.
Thank you sir! I have three caulking guns, one is rusted and not budging, the other is missing the plate, and the third one I just could not get it to engage once the tube was in. Your explanation of the ratcheting gun was just what I needed! (now if I can get it to dispense evenly rather than the big mess I made, or it doesn't dispense at all ha ha. One step at a time I guess). I like how clear you are, and you don't go too fast, which is so helpful.
You’re welcome, glad it helped.
Thank you thank you thank you! I have the older style gun that I just purchased from Home Depot, and that thing was giving me the blues trying to figure out how to get the caulk to flow. There were no instructions informing you to turn that plunger to engage the ratcheting, but you just did!
Glad it helped.
Thank you so much for explaining the Ratcheting Caulking Gun. That's what I have and didn't know I needed to turn
the handle.
Glad it helped.
I've been learning a lot about how to caulk, but not how to use the gun. Funny eh?
I just finished caulking 3/4s of a circular bathtub. Masked the floor and around the tub. Used the 5 size edging tool AND... it turned out beautiful.
Clear caulk helps!!!
The hard part comes tomorrow when I need to jimmy up a 14 inch extension to get between the shower stall and the bathtub.
I'm going to use Fish Tank tubing on the end of the Caulk Tube and tape a skinny wooden Dowel on to give it some stability. Any other suggestions would greatly be appreciated. LOL Can't tape that area. Less than 2" clearance. Dang!
Thanks again!
Thanks! Excellent video! You covered everything and demonstrated how it works too!
I appreciate it…thanks 😊
Glad it helped. You’re welcome.
This was so helpful. It's not as difficult as I thought it would be. My husband passed away a year ago so I am having to learn to deal with things around the house that he would have done. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped.
Thanks for a great video . Now I know why it gets messy sometimes at the end. I will switch to a drip free caulking gun.
Glad it helped.
You're my hero!! Had no idea that it had a cutter and a puncture tool!! Thank You 😊
Glad it helped.
Thank you from a newbie! Things are simple when you know how! Great training video!
Yes they are. Glad it helped.
Thank you for detail info. I never used this tool before which I am going to use today. I bought new house after a year, i see many places that needs reclacuking. You made ny day, god bless you
Glad it helped.
Thanks for teaching me how to use the gun. Now I need to find a pin or something to puncture the tip, but I'm all set now thanks to you.
No problem. Glad it helped.
Thank you so much for this video! I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't come out because I didn't know anything about the puncture tool, single woman, 1st time homeowner, learning everything from TH-cam.
Glad it helped.
Hi Mr. Handsome Man. Thank you for a great video. Very thorough and detailed and I am proud to say that I now understand how to use a caulking gun.
Hey, you’re welcome. Glad it helped.
Thank you so much for showing all of the different models! Mine is like your green one and I could not work out how to move the plunger. Turns out it was a bit old and jammed up. It just needed some WD40 to loosen it up. I've now successfully fixed some holes in my gutters. Thanks again. 😊
Great, glad it helped.

Excellent!!! 100 % 👍
Glad it helped.
I have been a professional caulker for over 45 years. You did a very good job explaining the very basics that many overlook. My only suggestion is although there is a nozzle cutter on a lot of guns you should not use it. They tend to crush the nozzle adding to the challenge of shooting a nice bead. Use a sharp utility knife cutting into a piece of wood( for safety)
I had a few issues with your discussion of sealants but that was not the focus of the video.👍
It is very easy to overlook the benefits of a video like this. Keep them up
Good tip, thanks for the feedback.
Thank you from a total novice. Good explanations from A - Z
Glad it helped.
So many tutorial but caulking gun still hard to press when use with silicon sealer 😂
If you are really having trouble with this they have caulking guns with different thrust ratios. Basically the shorter the distance the plunger moves with every squeeze the easier it will be to squeeze. You probably won’t find the thrust in No in a home center but you can usually find it online then just match manufacturers and part numbers
@@_azamuddin is there a way to make it easier? I can't push anything out at all.
Great video, I’ve also gotten white stuff on my shirt when playing with my caulk gun!
Me too, lol.
Awesome video!!! Thank you sir💪🏾💪🏾

Great video!
Glad it helped.
I just learned three things from your video. First, you can cut the tube with the hole on the side. Second, the puncture wire. Third, I didn’t know you had to puncture the caulk tube.
Glad it helped.

Thank you for your video...I was trying figure out y the caulking would come out. 😂
Glad it helped.
Hey, I didn’t think I would actually need to see this video, but boy was I wrong. I learned a lot. One question, what’s the best solvent to use to remove dried caulk from the exterior of a caulking gun? Thank you.
The more affordable options after scraping off the big chunks with a knife is vinegar, W-D 40, and isopropyl alcohol.
@@Caliber8Tools Thank You!
Great video. x
Glad it helped.
Excellent video and I needed this tutorial. Where did you purchase the orange caulk gun, it looks easiest to use.
Home Depot. Thank you, Glad it helped.

great video very informative. i learned alot
Glad it was helpful.
My caulk gun handle is facing down , it looks exactly like the red one. How do I get the sliver part to face up?
The handle and trigger is supposed to face down. The end of the silver rod that pushes the caulk out of the tube can twist in any direction.
Great tutorial.
Glad it helped.
I have not been to a chalking that did not have a assortment off chalking guns
Excellent ❤

After you put the caulking gun into the crack cement on the patio floor, do you smooth it out or just let it sit and smooth after
Smooth it out before it dries.
Thanks

Thank you. And helps that you're eye candy 🍬
You’re welcome. Glad it helped.
Why does my caulk canister seem like it's to small for my caulk gun and the plunger circle?
It may be too small. Make sure your caulking gun is the right size.
#1 video
Appreciate the feedback.
Good content as always
Appreciate that.
I like this
Nice one.
Glad it was helpful
Partially embarrassed but I’ll admit… the poke the whole through the top part had me stressed to the point of almost throwing my whole bathtub away lol no wonder no caulk was coming out! 😤
All good. As long as you got it. lol.
awsome
Thanks, glad it helped.
How do you remove the tube from the gun?
Pull the rod all the way back, then take out the tube.
@@Caliber8Tools thank you so very much for your quick response. I got it! 🤗
@@Caliber8Tools oh one more question? I can’t get anything to come out even after using the pin. 😩
I know how to caulk I can’t get any of my dead husbands caulking guns to work how Dow you get it out and how do you get the gun to move forward to get caulking out none mine work they way you’re showing I’m in tears help
Are the caulking guns old or damaged? Are you using brand new caulk?
❤
Glad it helped.
Am I the only one that doesn't no how to remove the silicone tube from the gun??? Or did i not pay attention good enough to this video??? Or did he not show how to remove the silicone tube from the gun???
Sorry for not showing that, simply pull the rod all the way back and take out the tube.
now we use electric caulking gun ,only need 15s to spray one 600ml gun
I hear that.
