Occasionally I need to seal something up but always seem to find that tube of sealant in my mastic gun has gone off, no matter how much I tried to block the nozzle the last time that I used it.

Does anybody know of anything suitable available in a toothpaste type tube?

Dirko comes in a tooth paste sized tube but it ain't no silicone sealant, it's proper sealant

The only thing I'd use "silicone" sealant is good for is house repairs in the kitchen or bathroom, after that it has little place anywhere else Imo.

This is good stuff for those small jobs and keeps well.

If its RTV type sealant you want buy it in the aerosol cans. Sometimes have to dig a little bit out of the nozzle if it's set but not much. Make sure the cans well in daye when you buy it cause the only thing that happens causing you to scrap a can is often when out of date you pull the trigger and all the gas comes out and no product? otherwise theres on waste and a can lasts ages.

If your talking about panel bonder or PU sealer/windscreen adhesive then no I dont think you will get small tubes.
