Re: Revive Old Caulk Tubes

I recently started jamming a nail set into the tube nozzle. Since the metal is tapered, you can watch the seal form between the nail set and nozzle as you apply pressure.

Started doing this two weeks ago, so haven't tested the longevity results. But since, I've noticed my Liquid Nails, which tends to dry out very easily, is fresh as can be after two weeks. After reading some other posts here, might add some electrical tape to avoid potential pushout problems.
