Tool of the Day!

(The following is a sample of some of Brian's correspondence)

Dear Brian;

I need to do some caulking around some tile in my kitchen. I found some great tubes of caulk at my local hardware store that will work great but I don't know how to get it squeezed out of the tube. I thought it would work like a tube of toothpaste but that has proven to not be the case. What should I do?

Dear All Caulked Up;

You are absolutely right. Unless you are the Hulk, you won't be squeezing any caulk out of those tubes any time soon! Fear not though, your solution is an easy one. Go back to your hardware store and invest in a caulk gun for your shop. Mine happens to be a Jasco JM 128CH Heavy Duty Smooth Bore 29 oz Caulk Gun but I'm sure your hardware store representative will help you find one you will be very happy with. Just slide your tube of caulk into your caulk gun and you will have that kitchen job caulked in no time! Good luck and as always, I'm here for you if you have any questions!
