Hot Glue Caulking Tube Saver

This idea came to me when I was putting trim on and refinishing my mom's staircase and was caulking the corners.I only used half a tube and didn't want to waste the rest. Earlier that day I was at the thrift store and found a beefy hot glue gun for a couple bucks. So I thought of using it to seal up the end of the tube.

If you feel it's worthy vote and favorite.

Thanks for reading.

Materials

Materials are pretty simple.

  • Hot glue gun with glue stick
  • Opened caulking tube.

That's it.

Gluing Up

Just plug in the hot glue gun and wait for it to heat up.

Put a generous dab on the end of the caulking tube to cover the open hole.

Finished

Let it solidify and you're good to go.

It should pop right off when you're ready to use it again.

Thought it would make a perfect entry for the Glue Contest.

Favorite and vote if you feel it's worthy.
