The Advantages of Using a Sealant Gun

Being able to use a sealant gun doesn't necessarily make you an expert at caulking. On the other hand, sealant guns facilitate caulking, delivering far better results than any alternative. The caulking procedure with the use of a caulking gun might take time to perfect but there are several good reasons why a sealant gun may be a good investment.

Caulking precision

Not all caulking projects require precision. However, projects that require watertight results demand caulking precision. Windows and shower doors demand the procedure to be carried out correctly, as improper caulking procedures often lead to water leaks, weak caulks and the necessity to re-caulk. You don't have to worry about that when you use a caulk gun. In fact, sealant guns nowadays can be set so that you can control the flow of caulks, providing a more even and precise caulking application.

Reduced working time

Another good reason why you should consider the use of a sealant gun is the time it can save. The process of caulking without a caulk gun may prove tiring and will likely take much longer to complete. Compared to the easy and hassle-free process of caulking with a sealant gun, the same task without a sealant gun could strain your hands and wrists, especially if you're working on large projects.

Less sealant goes to waste

Providing precision by controlling the flow of caulks upon application, this method actually allows you to save money because there is less waste, due to dripping or uneven application. On the other hand, you may still need to purchase special cartridges instead of the standard caulk tubes that are readily available, to accommodate more caulks. Buying special caulk cartridges might be an expensive initial investment but it will pay off in the long run. Able to hold about 10 or more ounce tubes of caulks, they afford even application and less waste and they don’t need replacing on a regular basis.

You'll be able to use it on more than one application

Sealant guns are best to use if you are doing plenty of caulking projects. There are special tips meant for different sealant gun applications so that you may use the device to seal your windows, your bathroom, your car, your wood projects or any other project that requires caulking. A sealant gun is a handy tool that is adaptable to many different projects.
