While doing some maintenance chaulking I found a way to be able to lay a small bead of chaulk on areas like compartment doors. I went to the local farm and ranch store and get a horse syringe and took the needle off and just use the end to lay the chaulk. Just load the chaulk from a regular gun into the syringe and get after it. Worked good for me. The syringe cost me .89 so I throw it away when done. Here's few pix to let you see the before and after views. rockin'

Thomas, one of those "why didn't I think of that?" -- purchase several of those disposable syringes and you're ready to caulk. I've found that the precharged caulk canisters keep longer than the standard tubes.

Chief,

I guess I don't know what you mean "precharged chaulk cansiters". Help SKA out on that one. Thanks, rockyhead

On the subject of caulk, what do you guys use?

Workshop did a post on this GE Silicone II is his choice, and if it is good enough for him, it's good enough for me! He's my hero!

At least you knew what to get and how to use it.

Opps.

'Rockin',
I'se talking about DAP "Alex Plus" 35yr Caulk with silicone. Comes in a aerosol can that keeps the caulk from drying out -- easy to clean nozzle and control the amount of caulk discharged. As we would say back home, "slicker than snot"!
