DIY drill silicone gun

My manual silicone gun broke on site, and gave me the opportunity to try my hand at a DIY silicone gun.

 

Some threaded M8 bar, some M8 nuts and some araildite metal, all hanging around the site. An hour messing about and I think that I have a passable, if rough version.

Hopefully it will help with all the caulking and silicone of skirting boards / architraves coming up!!!

    Very inventive but I assume a temporary fix until the shops open. You shouldn’t need two hands for caulking. Coincidentally, I was just looking for a ‘no drip’  gun since I happened upon a YT video yesterday.
