OK ya’ll laugh now! Got that out of the way. Can anyone give me information as to where I can buy new plastic caulking tubes? I use a caulking gun to make cheese straws. I cut the nozzle off and put in a half star die and pump away. I used to use a cookie press but am getting older and my shoulder won’t tolerate that anymore. If you can help me, you’d make life easier. Yes I left this message at “Fine Cooking”
Thanks

Buy a new refillable shiny metal caulking gun instead.
Will pay for itself in the long run and never wear out.

I got something better.... go to a flooring store and buy a caulk gun for squiting adhesive on vinly cove base. Big quart size sucker, the best part is it has a nozzle that puts down not one, not two, but three beads of adhesive. Man, hehehe, you be one bad cheese straw makin dude.
listening for the secret.......searching for the sound...
how about making your own with P.V.C. And makeshift extruder attached...????? bear
If we can make pumkin guns, we can sure make cheese guns...LOL.

When cheese guns are outlawed only outlaws will have cheese."The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships-- and sealing wax--Of cabbages-- and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot-- and whether pigs have wings"
what the hell is a pumkin' gun??????
I think there was a thread on this recently.
Forget where, but there is an annual contest to see who can build a launcher to shoot a pumpkin the farthest.
Saw a bit about it on tv after Halloween. Everything from catapults to what looked like an old railroad gun that they claim can launch one close to 1 mile.
Pumpkin guns, "where engineering and fun collide."
P.S. In a pumpkin war, I want the railroad gun.
I've seen that on ther telly. Big compatition somewhere looks like fun. Kinda like wife throwin.
Cheese straw... they got holes through 'em too. Like, for, .. chop a line, snort.... sssnnnnnnnnnooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttttttttttt....... then eat the straw. No evidence.listening for the secret.......searching for the sound...

If you find the plastic caulk tube you can buy a air or battery powered caulk gun and really save on the shoulder!
Just think of how envious the other guys will be.

I went to those sites and looked at the refillable caulking guns. Great! If I can't find tubes I will go to that.
