Silicone tube is widely used in various occasions because of its good elasticity, high temperature resistance, non-toxic and odorless characteristics. Many people are used to using a silicone gun to squeeze out silicone, but in fact, it can be operated without a silicone gun. Here are some methods and tips.
Manual extrusion:
Cut a small hole at the end of the silicone tube.
Pinch the tube with your hand and squeeze it forward from the end to ensure uniform force to prevent the silicone from suddenly spraying out.
You can use your fingers or small tools to smooth and modify the extruded silicone to make it evenly distributed.
With the help of tools:
You can use tools such as chopsticks, toothpicks, or scrapers to squeeze the silicone out of the tube and evenly apply it to the required areas.
If you need to apply it on a large area, you can use a scraper or a flat plastic sheet to smooth the silicone.
Adjust the speed:
Try to control the speed when squeezing to avoid uneven distribution or loss of silicone due to too fast speed.
If you are repairing a small area of damage, you can squeeze out a small amount of silicone first and then apply it slowly.
These methods are simple and easy to use. With just some common tools and patience, you can easily complete the application of silicone. Whether you're doing home repairs or crafting, try these no-silicone-gun techniques.
