Simple question, any tricks on now to use silicone on numerous jobs without the silicone going off all the time in the nozel?
I've tried screw in the end, cling film and tape. None seem to work.
Is it a case of new nozel Everytime?
I hate having to open a large tube of silicone sealant to do a little bit of filling/sealing.
Invariably the next time you go to the tube its gone off and needs to be binned.
A while ago, I found that Poundland do small 70g tubes of white 151 Silicone Sealant as below:
151 White Bath & Shower...

A question that should be simple, is killing me.
I have literally been researching this for months for no result; so if anyone even knows someone who knows the answer; or somewhere I could get the info please help.
We are currently using silicone insulated wire at work, a lot of it.

Has anyone used silicone spray lubricant instead of y77 or gunge for drawing wires through conduits etc? Can't see it being as effective, but could be a good compromise, but does it do anything to insulation or copper or anything?
Hi guys
I spoke with he technical chappie at Evo Stick the other day . It would seem that no silicone products are suitable for coming into contact with cable insulation as the solvents in the will eventually make the PVC brittle, especially at operating temp.
He said that only acryllic based...
Can anyone confirm whether you can seal using silicone sealant where cables are in contact?, ive been told by my electrician im training with, that this is not allowed as it causes the cables to de-grade..
