Dicor 501
Dicor 501.....once you have used what you want.....can it be stored or do you just toss the chaulking tube?

I stick a nail in the tip. When ready to use again, I will stick a longer nail to get past any dried up caulk, and really work that around. Eventually, I will get a good flow again.

I duct tape the end of the tube. Works great for all sorts of things. Construction adhesive, caulk, roof cement etc.

I use both. Nail then cover with duct tape.

Well that is just too cool!
Another item for the tool box.

Save just one tube of goop and it will be paid for.

Good tips! What do you use to prepare Dicor prior to using 501 lapping sealant?

If the old Dicor is not too dried out just apply over the top of the old stuff.
If it is hard and cracked a wipe with an acetone wetted rag (not sopping!) will make the surface of the Dicor "sticky" and the new Dicor will stick much better.

Convincing my wife that capping my caulk tubes was the reason I bought them would be the hard part.

Back in the 80's I went on a camping/river canoe trip with some guy's at work. Tent camped, drank too much and howled at the moon.
Anyway when I got home my wife found a small package (condom shape) in my jeans back pocket. She came at me holding it in the air demanding to know what I had this for. I just said open it. It was a moistened towelette...

Somehow I don't think my DW would be coming at me with the packet.
That girl packs "Heat" ...

Those tips are nice. When not available, I use a drywall screw instead of a nail. When pulled out, any dried caulk comes out with the screw.
