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!!🙏

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!!

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.

@michellemajako Год назад

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!!

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!

@Caliber8Tools 11 месяцев назад

Glad it helped.

@goldendojoloach Месяц назад

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.

@momzilla9491 Год назад

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!

@pipers_river Год назад

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. 😊

@mikemoore6909 5 месяцев назад

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!

So many tutorial but caulking gun still hard to press when use with silicon sealer 😂

@genecarden780 11 месяцев назад

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

@genecarden780 11 месяцев назад

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

@OhItsTayleaux 9 месяцев назад

My caulk gun handle is facing down , it looks exactly like the red one. How do I get the sliver part to face up?

@Caliber8Tools 9 месяцев назад

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.

@calgal8915 2 месяца назад

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.

The more affordable options after scraping off the big chunks with a knife is vinegar, W-D 40, and isopropyl alcohol.
