Okay, ya this pisses me off. I want to run a 1/8th inch bead around the front cover of my 2.8, okay So I get some Red sealant(because the Red always works better than the blue) and then I start the application.
Everything goes fine for the first 12" then you get tired hands, and you got to roll up the tube to keep it easy squeezing, then POP DAMNED, the side of the tube has busted open!
... so now I am applying the silicone with my fingers!...and wasted over half the tube(can't seal it, will cure)
I know they make RTV silicone in the caulking gun tubes, that is what I'll get next time. But for now what are some tips to apply the RTV without creating waste or hurting your hands?
