I can tell it's already it's something unique cuz I've been using caulking for 25 years. >> So you've used a caulking gun before? >> Um I have twice in my life. >> Two two times. >> Unbelievable. That's you're perfect candidate for this, >> right? >> The whole idea is simplicity. >> All right. You're going to buy this product. You're going to take it off the shelf and it's ready to be used. You take off the Stay Fresh cap and you reveal the nozzle which is already pre-cut. You've got an adjustable >> caulking gun buster right there. >> And that's going to allow you to use the product and get a perfect bead no matter what experience or lack thereof you might have with with uh dispensing C. So, you've got it at the full blast, right? You see that the trigger actually expands as you widen that. It's real simple. You just squeeze the trigger >> and you get a perfect bead. >> You can take it anywhere. >> Well, look at that >> every time. And when you stop, >> it stopped. If you're into caulking, >> you're not good with leaving a bead like that. >> You see, he's done some caulking because he wet his finger first. Look at that. And that's a perfect perfect mark. It looks like I've actually done that before. So, what kind of caulking is that? Is that It's a hybrid caul. So, it's going to have the best of both worlds. You've got your your silicone caulk in there. So, that's great against water protection. You've got your polyurethane caul in there to give you extra durability, extra adhesion. So, it's waterproof. Um, >> 100%. >> Can I paint it? >> You can paint that. >> Okay, you can paint it. >> And it comes in white and clear. If for some reason you don't want to paint it, you can use clear. Uh, if your house is white, you can use white. But yes, you can paint over that. >> So, um, what do I clean up with when I'm done? >> A dry paper cloth. >> What about um if I got it all over my hands and stuff, dude? Can I wash my hands with water? I'm going to say steer yourself away from water. Just use a dry paper cloth. And then always after you're using any of any of our products, you want to wash your hands after because you don't want to rub your eyes. You don't want to eat food. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. So, it says um trigger flow nozzle, bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors. Uh 100% waterproof seal, super strong adhesion, won't shrink, crack, mildew resistant, and paintable. So, there you have it. So, you put on a pretty heavy bead, so I want to adjust it down a little bit less. So, >> and that's fantastic and that you can control that because one of the things you're figuring out with caulk is that you lay that down and then you take your finger and smooth it out and you've got half the can on your finger. >> Half the can. >> You can control all of that with that. So, there's really no waste. >> The trigger is going in as I turn it to minimum. As I go to maximum, the trigger is coming out. So, I'm going to go to minimum. >> You don't even need me. He's got it all. >> There it goes. And it's all a ratio of squeezing the trigger and how fast your arm moves across that surface. >> But as you can see, his bead is a lot tighter than the initial bead. So what does that mean? That tighter. A lot less waste when you finally go for this. >> Okay. See, >> almost nothing. >> Oh my gosh. See? >> Almost nothing. >> Watch. >> I'll fix what you did. >> Oh, you're fixing my area. You see that? >> Who's the real expert here? The one that's never done it before. Exactly. >> Never done it before. So, I'm going to turn it to max >> maximum flow. >> Max flow. So, triggers out farther. I'm going to just test that one more time. >> I like to just That's actually a good idea. >> So, you know, >> with the spray, with the caulk, with whatever product we're offering, it's good to test it first. >> Anytime a propainer's, you know, trying something new, they always want to do a test run first, you know. >> So, here we go. One more time. at maximum flow. Look at that. >> And a perfect beat. >> He's getting better and better at this. >> And when you stop, >> it stops. Look at that. Okay. Well, we'll we'll set that right there. Like that. >> It's UV resistant yellow. >> Look at that. Perfection. Even with >> max speed. Look at that. At what point is it going to break? >> It's pretty flexible. Pretty flex. >> Pretty flexible. >> Cool. >> Obviously, you know nothing about a caulking gun, >> right? Obviously, it just says >> just for giggles. >> Where we where we paint, we don't use caulking. So, >> okay. Right on.
