How do I Stop my Caulking Tube from Leaking?

Many homeowners and contractors alike get frustrated with a leaky caulking tube; how do you keep your tube leak-free and improve your workspace?

The Challenges in Caulking Applicator Use

It’s a common experience with a certain caulking tube: applying a quick bead, setting down the tube to install something or do quick work, and come back to find the tube leaking.

Generally speaking, there’s an easy fix: simply release the pressure on the back of the applicator to prevent the tube from continually leaking. However, this does not always work.

This is because the tool creates pressure in the tube that will be tough to release depending on the viscosity of the material, so removing the pressure doesn’t always work, and you’re left with a messy workspace, which is especially frustrating for homeowners.

Using StrapCap to Improve Workspace Experience

So, how do I stop my caulking tube from leaking between uses? Simply attach a StrapCap, which uses a marine grade bungee to attach to the tool and a nozzle to strap over the caulking tube tip. This will prevent the tube from leaking and keep your workspace clean.

In addition, StrapCap comes with a handy base to keep both ends of the tube sealed, improving the longevity of any product.

StrapCap is the ultimate accessory to improve your workspace when using any caulking or sealant products, and is available in select stores.
