Ok, so you know how on the permatex flowable silicone youre supposed to use the extra nossle to put the silicone in? When youre done, how do you clean the inside of the nossle thing? I just took a million cotton swabs and took out all the (wet) silicone from the tube. Is there a better way?

Wait for the silicone to dry, and push out a nice little cone of silicone.

I put a nail in the hole it keeps it from drying, and when you need to use it pull the nail out.
