How to Save Caulk after Use without the Tube Hardening


Many a homeowner has bought a caulk of tube for some quick work and stored it for later, only to find that the tube is unusable in a short span of time. Figuring out how to save caulk after use can save you time, money, and frustration!

 

Why Standard Caulk Storage Strategies Don’t Work Well


Caulking products are used quite frequently in both home construction, renovation, rework, and repair. The average homeowner buys a tube of RTV or something else for some quick work, because generally, homeowners use tubes of caulk for quick repairs or tasks around the house.

 

When it comes to home construction and renovation, workers tend to go through tubes of caulk very quickly, but for home repair they tend to use a small bit of the tube and then they seal it for later use. Unfortunately, it’s easier said than done figuring out how to save caulk after use, as nails, wire caps, and other ways to seal the tip end up hardening.

 

The problem is that tubes of caulk being opened break a seal at both ends of the tube, and the seal at the tip needs to make a tight, sufficient cover without sticking to the inside of the tip.

The benefit of using StrapCap is that it attaches to both ends of the caulking tube and the tightness of the adjustable marine grade bungee cord keeps the two parts pressed firmly at both ends, keeping the tube sealed. StrapCap can save you product for months and even years!
