Practical tips for best results
- Store with the plunger retracted to minimize caulk leakage and prolong tool life.
- Wipe the nozzle and the plunger tip after use to prevent skinning or hardening of leftover caulk.

- For thick caulks, apply steady pressure with short, controlled squeezes to reduce air pockets and achieve a cleaner bead.
