Applying Sealant / Caulk with an applicator gun

Using sealants or caulks, is a very common job and should be very easy. The best, easiest and least expensive way to apply mastic, sealant or caulk is with an applicator gun. You can maintain absolute control and get a neat and tidy job.

We advise that you buy an extra tube of the sealant you need to apply and have a practice with it. Sealants, mastics and caulk are not that easy to remove when wet and can be very messy so practice makes perfect.

Firstly you need to work out which sealant you need from the many hundreds you are faced with.

Using a sealant, mastic or decorators caulk application gun takes practice to get it right and even the basics like trimming the nozzle are important. Firstly, using a sharp hobby knife, place the nozzle on a flat surface which will not be damaged if you cut into it. Then cut the nozzle at an angle of about 45 degrees. The higher up the nozzle the smaller the aperture you will leave so start small and widen, by cutting further down, if required. By cutting small, a very thin, neat line of mastic can be applied. Wider strips are much harder to get neat.

Screw the nozzle onto the end of the tube and insert into gun. Squeeze the trigger gently until you can see the mastic appearing in the nozzle. Always have a piece of rag with you. Place the nozzle onto the job at the same angle as the nozzle cut then lift the handle end slightly to allow the mastic to be squeezed out. Move the gun at the same time as pulling the trigger (this is where a little practice is invaluable) keeping the bead of mastic uniform in thickness. Do not move too quickly or you will "stretch" the bead, too slowly and it will distort.

Even the pros very rarely get the finished bead of mastic perfect with the gun so some "touching up" is usually required! use a finger, dipped in water running gently, but firmly, over the bead to shape it into the joint is an easy way but this is not recommended practice however and a special tool is available for this job. Don't forget that practice makes perfect !
