So my silicone always solidifies into a blob in the nose. I was wondering if there is a good way to get the silicone out. Whenever I wait for it to solidify, there is still a gooey part in the middle and makes my paperclip all sticky. Advice?
And I was referring to this…
The part at the end with
Just let it harden over night then pick it out with a paper clip.
Put a toothpick or something inside of it before it solidifies and then pull it out when it’s solid
Don’t let it solidify. With the tube still in the bottle, squeeze a little blob out. It should be hanging on to the end. Push a nail through this little blob into the cone. When you need to use it again, only the outside sili will be hard.
Neat, Yoyo Kangaroo. I always assumed it would start curing all the way through.
I’ve always done the “pull the dried blob out the next day or next time” thing. It certainly wastes a lot of sili vs. Yoyo Kangaroo’s method, assuming it works!
I always unscrew the nozzle, recap the tube, and put a SCREW in the nozzle, so when it hardens the threads grip the silicon plug and you can just pull it out.
I never use the long nozzle. I just poke a super small hole in the tip of the tube and just pour using that and cap it the regular way. No issues that way for me.
This is what I do too.
