Cut your nozzles opening wider

get a professional type mastic gun, we supply these to the lads and we`ve never had one break (lost a few though) ???

Thanks all for your tips ive used this gun and the clip to release it breaks of and it has done the same on other metal guns.

I do cut a nice large hole in the nozzle most of the time, but i must confess i dont put it on the radiator

so chaps whats the gun i should buy that will not break....

thanks simon

Try Hilti they make a cauking gun that is solid, They never break and if by some freak of nature it does they will replace it. All of the fire stop lads use them and these boy go through about 100 plus tubes of mastic a day.

Be warned though their about £60 each. ???

Rab 1 that post sounded great till the end .... £60 im a diy er... i cant justify that sort of dosh for a cauking gun...

anything else cheaper near as good....

longshot i know...
thanks simon

not a fan of green grip fill anyway get a better adhesive, we had a box of 20 and a lot were hard and didnt stick to sh1t

we have those guns and the older fashioned metal ones never broke one despite being a heavy handed 19 stone prop hehe

ryobi do a battery powered one from screwfix/b&q
