About this deal

This doesn’t always work if you cut the tip of your tube off at a sharp angle since some air can get into the tube through a gap. If you are new or a novice to the art of applying caulk or sealant, it is a good idea to take a few practice runs before jumping straight in. For example, if you are caulking skirting boards you can use a Stanley knife – cut as close to the edges as possible and pull out.

However, if you run a line of caulk across the paper seams and especially along the corners, then smooth it out using a wet finger or sponge that will keep the wallpaper in place. Exceptions include acrylic caulk that has been formulated to resist UV rays and strengthened to hold up against the elements. This will fill in the nozzle with silicone entirely and keep any air pockets from getting trapped inside.Both have very similar properties, but decorators' caulks will be used for sealing small gaps around doors, windows and skirting.

If you just can’t force the nail in and you’ve used your tube more than once already, it’s a sign that it has already started to dry out. Grab a nail that’s thinner than your nozzle and poke it inside of the tube repeatedly to break the blockage up. This option tends to work well, although your nozzle may dry quickly if you don’t get enough air out of the bag before you seal it. If the silicone won’t come out, grab a nail or thumbtack that’s thinner than the opening on the nozzle and repeatedly push it into the opening to break the dry silicone up.When you have a long bead to run and you can’t get it done in one shot, don’t start again where you left off. To stop the caulk drying out and causing a blockage push an appropriately sized nail down the nozzle and wrap masking tape around the nozzle and tip.
