How to Set Up and Use a Caulking Gun
a just az.com production how to set up
and use a caulking gun a caulking gun is
used to force kaki out of the tube into
a desired location once you selected the
right coffee for the job and we'll talk
a little bit about that later you will
need to load the tube into the gun
cut the tip of the tube at a 45
degree angle I usually use a razor knife
where you cut determines the size of a
hole for a smaller hole you cut closer
to the tip match the size of the hole in
the tip to the size of the width of the
seam or the joint you are caulking some
guns have a spout cutter you put the tip
of the tube in the hole and squeeze the
trigger to cut the tip I really hate
spout cutter zone I prefer abrasion tada
this gun has a metal rod on it use it to
poke the seal inside the tube if you
don't have a mal round your gun use a
long nail just take it and insert it
into the to pull this handle back to
pull the plunger back and some models
you may have to press the trigger we
place the tuba into the cradle of
the gun so the tip is protruding past
the rain or yolk of the gun the cup of
the plunger should rest against the
bottom of the tube holding the tip
against the area of where are you going
to start slowly squeeze the trigger
until the clock
before we start talking we're going to
need to prep the area as we can see over
the years the has contracted and we
got some holes in here so what we're
going to have to do is remove the
caulking just take a razor knife and
just start cutting out the old caulk you
have two different types of caulk latex
and silicone latex is easier to apply
than silicone and cleans up easier with
soap and water
silicone doll is more durable it's also
more flexible meaning that it's a better
choice for seams enjoying set expand and
contract some silicone products require
a mineral spirits for cleanup of many
jobs
check the label on your tube for the
directions on how to clean up latex
caulk is also paintable but not all
silicone caulk is panel again remember
to check the label silicon also works
best for non porous surface latex can be
applied to both porous and non-porous
surfaces I chose a fast drying acrylic
latex caulk with silicon it drives a
twenty million its paintable it's good
for 50 years it's waterproof exterior
and easy to clean up let's give it a try
put the guy on the corner and squeeze a
little as you move it down
get to be the all the way around
the window just take a little water what
your finger
and you smooth it out
if you open in an area come back cool
extra in there
once you finish with your clocking just
pull a handle back remove the this
too is still about half full so what I
do is I take a plastic sandwich bag the
top
and wrap a rubber band around and it's
good for store we finish talking the
pain in the window the whole project
took us less than an hour that's going
to save us money on our heating and
air-conditioning bills in the future
project made it easy by using a caulking
gun now that you learned how to use a
caulking gun you tried another project
such in the bathroom around the sink or
a tub or for repairing a driveway thanks
