- Open caulk tube like a pro. Stop using those annoying handheld tubes of caulk. A caulk gun is much easier and faster to use. Here's my DIY guide to open the tube, load the gun and store your caulk for another time.

Watching this with my exploded caulking cartridge

Just exploded my cartridge too
Lol awww
Hi I’m sending you a message from Annapolis Maryland. I recently lost my husband in May and I have a large house and I’m by myself. So I’ve started to do a lot of things myself. Just from remembering how he did things. But I fell onto your channel and I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to watch your videos especially a woman doing all these things it has actually empowered me. And just today I was trying to figure out how to work a caulking gun and here you are with this great video so thank you and keep them coming
This is the best tutorial i've ever seen.
Thank you for this. So many "how to" videos jump past the beginning, assuming you own these tools and have used them before. I need someone to show me stuff, truly from the beginning.
Yeah!! Thank you!!! Got my old stuck gun to work!!👏🏽
All these years and I never even noticed the cutting blade on the handle.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!
🙏🏾✊🏾
You're definitely Superwoman sitting here trying to figure out how I'm going to open this up not even realizing that all the stuff needed it's right on this gun thank you so much
I HEART this woman. I was staring at the directions on a tube of sylicone caulk and realized I needed HELP. This video plus "How to Caulk a Bathtub with Silicone" told me everything I needed to know (and more than my husband knew). Super practical and easy to understand, gave me the confidence to do this job myself.
Perfect !!
I’ve never used a caulking gun but figured I could replace the garage door trim myself thinking “how hard can it be?” I absolutely loved your video! It was very informative but at the same time concise and to the point, unlike a lot of online videos. Thank you for the info.
Thank you so much. That's exactly what I needed to learn ❤❤❤
Best video ever! I tried to cut with a knife or cutter, but it didn’t work. I didn’t expected to find a solution, my hands are week and I am a not very young woman. I didn’t want to cut my fingers,while the plastic bottle was resisting...Respect and thank you from france !
Thanks. Just a few seconds of watching and I got the gist. Very well explained. 💯
I never thought about it, but it makes sense that a do-it-yourselfer stay-at-home mom would know so much about caulk. Thanks for teaching me how to use my caulk better! Now to go finish up my car project!
This is VERY helpful! I saw it right before trying to cut the caulking tube by a scissor and applying it by hand pressure. Saved my day!
YAY
Had to go thru 30 minutes of other videos before yours showed me how to press the release to pull the rod back...Thank you.
I am so glad I watched this before I tried to use my brand new caulk gun. I would have not figured out any of that. Thank you so much.
I leaned so much! Thank you
I also immaturely giggled the whole time 😂😂❤
I get it. I have 3 adult sons and a husband. I've heard every joke
Very helpful! Straight to the point and through. I totally appreciate this.
Well thank God for people like this lady. This is great I'm going to be doing my own caulking around the bathroom tub next week so let the fun begin.
Thank you so much! I had to replace an old rusty floodlight and didn't want the new one to fare the same fate. Was able to snip open, use, and store the new caulk tube for later use ❤
Great video. Now I feel confident that I can do my caulking when needed.
you go girl

This is SO helpful. I never could use a caulk gun and now I know why. I've already looked at your video on how to re-caulk a bathtub and I'm about to go to work. Thanks so much.
Your method of sealing the tip with the electrical cap and plastic works perfectly! Thank you for the video!
Excellent!
I love how she handles that big caulk gun.
Yeah I’m so jealous of how many things she can do with that caulk
I’m glad I watched this before starting my project! Thanks!!
It’s really so hard to listen to this without saying “that’s what she said” 😂
I was wondering if anyone else noticed! LOL
Great tips. I liked using the electrical lock as a cap!
Thank you Ma’m for your detailed explanation.This video really helped us..👏👏👏👏👏
You answered all my questions in a single video. Thank you 🙏and subscribed
This is the only useful video I found online and it was very friendly to watch, thank you :)
Thank You for a great video. I have watched other videos about caulking, but they don't show how to open and store a tube of caulk or how to use each part of the caulk gun. I am the son of a countryman who knew how to fix everything. However, born in the city, I never asked my dad can I do some of the maintenance around the house. After my late father passed away in 2013, I had to learn how to do maintenance around my mother's house through trial and error (lots of errors).
Thank you for commenting. We don't know things if no one was there to teach us or never needed to know. Glad I was able to help you
This video is amazing and you are SO CLEAR! I'm trying this now so will let you know how it went.
Excellent video, quick and easy to follow, thanks!
OMG, I could reach out and hug you right now! Thank you!
I’m a new homeowner, this was awesome!!!! Thank you, Thank you!
Very concise and well presented. Thank you so much
So after a failed attempt to use our new caulk gun I found your video and had no clue the actual caulk gun has everything we needed to open it 😂🤣🤣🤣 thank you for the video
Yeah. So happy to help
...same here❤️
Mine didn't have the cutter or the spike. 😫
Good, practical information explained in a way anyone can understand! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
This was an extremely helpful video. Thank you!
Thank you for posting this!
U are a lifesaver. I'm about to re-caulk my bathtub I have no clue wtf I'm doing lol
Thank you for explaining so clearly!!!!
Thank you so much! This helped me tremendously.
Excellent and very well explained 😊 thanks this my first time using caulking and the gun so I am glad I scrolled down to use.

I’ve been looking for basic videos regarding caulk in general as I’ve got to redo the tub. This is really neat! You’ve got good videos on the subject, thank you for putting them out there (:
Awesome, thank you!
Sooo good!!! Best advice anywhere! Thank you!!
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
I just found you in the knick of time. So many tips I did not know!
Thank you ma’am. You are a good teacher. Subscribed.
My boyfriend has said he’s going to replace the caulking in the bathtub for months. So I’m here on your AMAZING channel! I just subscribed as well, because I love what you’re doing. Thank you so much for the help! I love feeling like I can do just as much as anyone.
Aw thanks. There's nothing we ladies can't do. Just need to learn how and boom, done! 😁
I'm in the same situation here, it's been 1 yr exactly 😒
If he says he’s gonna do it, he’s gonna do it. You don’t need to remind him every 6 months
@@ronalby5957 lol...although I'm here as well...
Im a boyfriend doing this finally 😅
Very helpful information; thank you 😀!
Thank you so much!!! I had no idea the fun holder had these features :)
Thank you so much! I started and couldn't get the caulk out. I didn't know there was a seal inside! Thank you!
Worked like a charm. Thanks so much!
Great information. Thank you!
This was AWESOME! Thank you!
Great video, thanks.
thank you, this video was so simple yet to the point and it helped immensely. it's strange how so many videos don't point out either one of the 2 tips
You're welcome!
Great video. Thank you so much 😊
Why would anybody dislike this video I'm a woman and I have never fixed a thing at home and I just realized I have ants coming out of tiny holes everywhere in my bathroom and I have not been able to sleep because every time I go to the bathroom there's ants and I hate knowing they might be on me so I found this thing about caulk went to the store bought it and also the cheap gun and I did exactly what she said not to do which was just cut the top and I kept pressing and nothing was coming out because I didn't know I had to puncture it and then I also use my scissors to cut the tip I didn't know I could have used the gun anyhow in less than 5 minutes she fixed an answer all of my questions! Because I just cleaned my bathroom and I was ready to do the caulking and then I said okay now I don't know what to do because nothing is coming out of the tube and now I can just go back in 5 minutes thank you THANK YOU and I also have to say that after doing my first caulking I realized that I have done a much cleaner beautiful job than the guys my mom hired who had done the previous one because they just caulked all the surrounding metal parts and it's messy thick they didn't even clean around the wall or the fixtures all uneven! my job was much cleaner, filled all holes but also with attention to detail not uneven or just splattering around fixtures! anyways the point is that I was afraid doing these things but I realize sometimes we might even be better than men at them... im sure it depends who one hires but spending 100+ for super easy things we can do.... I also painted my rooms and I'm also now filling wholes with that thing that expands like foam

From where you buy that gun?
