As long as you cut the tip straight across (the correct way), then this hack works well. Also, the tip you cut off can be flipped upside-down and inserted back into the tube as well.
It's a brand of wire nuts. Marette must be *the* brand in Canada (or whatever Northern area he's from). It's similar to tissues being called kleenex, all forms of soda being called Coke (in the deep southern United States), and adhesive bandages being called Band-aids.
Unless you're using it daily or weekly, bye the time you need it again, what ever is in the tip is cured anyway. I find it easier to just throw away what I don't use. It's not like it's difficult to come by.
Tried this, didn't really care for it, definitely like the duct tape method better, where you can actually fold it over on itself, real tight, and hang it up from the extra tape folded over. 👍🏼
Finally. Something that wagos can't do. But wait, its still similar, you have to remove the good product to use wirenut instead, so whats wrong with the cap that the caulk came with?
@@marka8537 yes, so far it works for caulk, silicone, and 5200. thats all ive tried but i figure at this point it will work for anything in a tube. i have a second fridge in the garage for drinks. so i will through anything in the freeze to see what happens
@@location_florida can’t believe I’ve never thought of this. I’m a roofer. I use a variety of caulking and similar products. It makes a lot of sense since caulk and adhesives go bad quickly in the heat
Most guys don’t care about their caulk once they are finished using it, until they want to use it again. You should take much better care of your caulk guys.
OK, so first off I just had to Google what in the hell a marrette is. It's a dang wire nut. That's it. Anyways, use a big wire nut, the little ones will not work.
@@draconiandraco yeah that’s also s good way to judge if you shouldn’t just start with a new tube. If it’s tough to yank the screw out, the caulk has set & your time is worth something
