Best Way to Cap Tube of Caulking
What do you recommend to cap the severed tube tip of caulking? It seems whatever I use, the caulking dries up in the tip, ruining the whole tube. I think Dap once had a threaded tip base that you could remove & replace w/ a small threaded cap they provided, but they realized that they were selling less caulk b/c the system helped preserve partial tubes.

I ran across these at an ACE hardware about a year ago and have been using them ever since. Haven't had a tube dry out on me yet. They can be kinda hard to find as not everyone carries them.

duct tape works great - in fact when I open a tupe, I alway wrap some tape around the tube so it's there when I need it - just rip a piece off and wrap the tip - I used to use the screw but this has worked better - less mess - and tubes seem to last a while
