I feel like an idiot for asking this but I can't seem to find a way
    #10489936 - 06/11/09 05:53 PM (14 years, 9 months ago)

I been making lids and my RTV silicone always gets dried up and clogs my tube, which is a pain to clear out the next time I use it. I've tried a few things to try and keep it from drying out. Anyone have a fail proof method?

You mean the silicone dispenser tip clogs? Try putting a screw or nail in the tip to "cap" it. You can buy little rubber "condoms" that cover the tip and can extend the shelf life a bit, but I've had little luck with them. Or just buy the expensive tiny tubes of silicone and try to use it all up in one go. Like it or not if you don't use it often enough it will dry in the tube once opened. There's very little you can do about it.

I use silicone at work constantly, so I always have a working tube (or three) going. But any tube that gets buried in the truck dries up, as you've found, and gets chucked. Sometimes to save money I'll slash open the side of the clogged tube and just extract the silicone with a stick. :tongue:

Haha, ok thanks Tazz. I'll probably be ripping this tube open next time. Although I should have enough lids done now to last me awhile.
