How to Open a Caulk Tube for Beginners

Caulk is just one of tasks that everyone has to do. I want to make it easy for you to Do Yourself!

There’s a big difference between a hand held tube of caulk and caulk gun loaded with a regular 10 oz. tube of caulk.

When you’re using a hand held tube of caulk, you’re trying to squeeze the contents, direct it and control how much comes out all at the same time. That is too clumsy and messy!

Watch how easy it is with a gun. You will never want a hand held tube again.

Seriously easy! Did you know about the gadgets on the caulk gun that help you cut open the tube and prevent a bottom blow out?

SO many people don’t know this. Using a caulk gun helps you get neater, cleaner projects because it gives you more control. Now you can caulk like a boss.
