Revolutionary Tools for Painters. Reusable Caulking Tubes!

What happens here

To maintain the smooth function of the reusable caulk tube, particularly the plunger, it's recommended to lubricate the inside of the transparent tube periodically. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil or cooking spray (such as Pam) to the interior, especially around the plunger, every 10 to 20 sausage packs. This prevents friction and ensures the caulk dispenses easily. Additionally, to prevent caulk from drying out in the nozzle tip overnight, detach the tip and soak it in water.

Goal: Ensure smooth dispensing and extend the life of the reusable tube and nozzles.

going to give you a couple little tips about using these tubes that i found out one thing is is you want to lubricate the tubes about every you know 10 sausage packs um 10 to 20 sausage packs that are running through here now i've run this to probably around 15 i haven't lubricated i typically keep in my vehicle mineral oil and this is a thing of mineral oil right here actually get these with my fishing rods and you're just going to want to take and just wipe some mineral oil down inside there and that just keeps that plunger lubricated another little handy tip it's instead of mineral oil which is completely environmentally safe works really good you can use like cooking spray like pam cooking spray you can spray that down inside there and that's going to lubricate that plunger and keep it working easily so i've lubricated my plunger i can just move it um down to the end move it to the opposite end make sure that lubrication is dispensed evenly all the way to the end now i'm ready to add another tube and it's been lubricated
