    love these... keep em coming! I have often cut a small opening for small beads but never thought to refine the shape further by rubbing it in a groove... Genius!

    Sir, You are terrific. Succinctly explained everything. I’m an unskilled woman who couldn’t get the new silicone to flow. I figured it was blocked but that dumb metal thingy that comes on the caulk gun is too thick. You showed me the way. Paper Clip! Thank you and bless you.

    The membrane in the tube is always a pain in the ass to deal with. Fortunately, we don't have any in Europe, no matter what type of caulk/glue we use, which makes our lives a little bit easier... Good tip, although if you need a very small amount of caulk along an edge, two coats of any decent acrylic paint will do the job with no caulk at all.

    • @Makebuildmodify
      @Makebuildmodify  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Interesting. You're right, there is a point where there's no need for caulking at all.

    How come when you cut the tip off it still doesn’t come out sometimes?

    • @Makebuildmodify
      @Makebuildmodify  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The tube probably has a membrane located down inside the tip. It's usually near the body of the tube. You can use a long thin piece of metal to puncture it. Some caulking guns have a fold out needle for just this application.

  • @slarsen791

    I know how to cut the tip off the nozzle. However, the piercing rod on the caulking gun isn’t long enough to pierce the plastic end of the tube with the nozzle is in. NO ONE seems to want to show how to deal with getting the plastic bit off the top of the tube.
