how to use a silicone gun or caulk gun

[snoopy]

Very helpful, thank you! My husband died recently and I had no idea how to use the silicone gun, he always used to do these kind of jobs. So glad I found your channel!

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you. 13 years later and this video is still helping people 👏

This is a really nice little video as I struggled with how to load the silicone gun, it's just not obvious to a 70 year old lady how it works!
Good tips all the way through.

Yet another excellent, simple, no frills demo, thank you. I have done a " not bad job" on tiling my bathroom, all on the strength of your videos . I've never done anything like that before, and you have been like a tutor over my shoulder !! Thanks.

As a 57 year old silicone gun virgin .... the video made it painless & pleasurable! Many thanks!

Absolutely brilliant demo - thank you! No jargon, just simple, easy to follow instructions in plain English! Yup - brilliant - thank you!

This Northern fella has helped me no end become a competent DIY'er. I am already a qualified painter and decorator, so to look up this channel just furthers any skills. I even fixed my pensioner mates toilet. Plumber wanted 50 quid, I ordered the part for him and it cost £11.00. Not to mention my Mum's problem with her light fitting, last year. Top bloke! Thank you so much and love that accent! I'm not doing bad 'for a Girl!'

Thanks for this video! I am a retired lady (irish was my dog) and an avid HGTV watcher here in the USA. Now that I am retired I have lots of time to take on some home repair! I enjoy interior design but we will see how much I like being a handyman...or is it a handy-lady! I was going to have ask the sales person at the hardware store how to use a caulking gun!! You saved me from that bit of embarrassment!! I loved your soap on the finger for smoothing caulk lines..very neat for clean-up!!

Thank you! I always struggle with these! literally just bought a silicone gun and spent half an hour trying to release the mechanism before resorting to you tube...it was the thing you point out in the first five seconds, how to use the lever at the back. Which now I see it, works perfectly. I'd still be struggling away now if hadn't found your video, so thank you again!

Thank you! I've been sitting here waving this sealant gun around wondering how on earth I get the bottle in, you are a lifesaver.

I watched a few other videos and still had questions.  This was by far the best video.  No one showed my how to release the spring to load the caulk.  The only difference is the caulk gun I have has a little hole on the side to insert the tube & cut the tip off so you don't have to use a razor.  Also has a swivel pin-type thing to insert in the tube to release any build up to open up the flow of the caulk.   Thanks - now I can go fix my project.

Thank you. At the age of 63 im learning how to do all sorts of diy projects out of necessity. Replacing shower silicone was my dreaded thing to do but youve helped a great deal! Its not too bad looking if i say so myself :-)

[jasdeep]

i've just done tiling and was so nervous about using silicone, watching this has really helped out alot thanks mate

[ivmess]

The tip with the liquid to smooth it, was priceless! Thanks!

[lazylaurablue]

Great thanks! I use these so rarely, I always forget how to open them! I've been tugging away at the little lever for ages thinking that must be how to remove the old, dried cartridge, but I never thought of pulling the plunger back. D'oh! The rest of the video is good too. I like the washing up liquid tip. I usually just use bare fingers and that tends to be a bit messy. Nice work, thanks.

Being a complete numpty with DIY and NEVER having used one of these guns this video allowed me to do some silicone sealing of my bath - actually silicone removal first using another of your video's. Thanks

[Panman]

Very Good demo, thank you for the tip regarding the screw in the nozzle to stop the silicon hardening off, I have in the past tried to flush out the nozzle and wrapped cling film around the bottom of the cartridge to preserve the silicon.👍

[peachesandbees]

This was such a helpful video. I usually feel very overwhelmed when watching these types of demos but this was straight to the point and had some very useful tips. Thanks!

[gsf]

Nice logical, straight forward and a common sense approach. Everything I had been looking for in a guide. Cheers

Thank you very much for such a clear description of how to use a silicone gun, I hadn't used one before but was able to re-attach a bathroom sink surround with little difficulty after watching your video.
