  • Caulk Tube Condom

    Couldn't resist that title...

    These small rubber "condoms" work great for sealing up an open tube of <fill in the blank>. I've used them for a few months now and both tubes with the seal were usable again. Super easy to use and not expensive.

        I always let the tube tip dry up and clog because I forgot to put the screw in

          I know this was an older post but I was just browsing and saw it. I use a screw in tube that holds the open caulk container. It is very effective and I found as things get jostled around in the camper or the workshop the tubes stay in place well. They are a bit more expensive but I really hate wasting a full tube when I have only used a small amount. They are called Airtite - Preserves Open Caulking Tubes (4 Pack) available on Amazon

            I’m an Airtite fan as well, just hard to get in Canada.
