I tried out siliconing my Di Base 2 yesterday and needed a way to drain the applicator that came with the flowable silicone , I looked around my desk and - [](https://i.imgur.com/LYOC5KG.png) ;D 😃 Happy Friday. ---

Binder clips are also an excellent foundation for a mini-catapult! Popsicle sticks, binder clip, hot glue… done! (idea stolen from [SonicDad.com](http://SonicDad.com)) PS, since the silicone isn’t being used anyhow, you could always let it dry. It won’t stick to the cap/spout thingy. When it’s a big silicone blob, it’s easy to just pull out! ---

I’ve had a lot of success sticking a screw into the applicator. When the sili dries, you can just pull it right out. I don’t know what kind of frictionless spouts they have in Canada, Greg. I’m never that lucky ??? ---

It actually does get a bit stuck right in the tip, but the bulk of it (if you leave it in the spout) will just come out. I grab onto the big part of it and give it a pull until it pops out. _snicker_ ---

Binder clips are basically like the duct tapes brother, if duct tape can’t do it… Get a binder clip. I use them to organize cables most often, pop off a piece of the clip, slip in a cable, pop it back on, clip the binder clip to my desk… No more lost cable! ---

Also you can store your headphones in them so they won’t get tangled! Just stick it in and wrap around the metal part ;D ---
