One of the most common and destructive mistakes made when applying silicone is also one of the easiest to avoid. Many people think that applying silicone without a silicone gun would be simple; how difficult could squeezing the product straight from the cartridge be, after all?
Unfortunately, most silicone packaging simply isn't designed for this and using alternative methods simply won´t match the dispensing quality of a regular silicone gun. An even flow, precise control, and a smooth look can be surprisingly difficult to achieve without a caulking gun. Even if you can achieve a decent-quality application, it will probably take a lot longer than it would with a standard silicone dispenser.
How to Apply SIlicone Sealant Without a Caulking gun:
If you came here because you Google or Bing searched something like "how to apply silicone sealant without a caulking gun," then there is a good chance that you already have silicone sealant that you need to lay urgently. So if purchasing a caulking gun simply isn't an option, then here is what you can do:
Cut one tip off the tube of silicone, ideally creating an opening of between ⅛ and ¼ of an inch. Alternatively, attach a dispensing nozzle to the opening of the silicone tube.
Hold the silicone container with two hands -- one near the opening, and one at the rear. Squeeze the tube from the rear, moving your hand from the back toward the front in a single, steady motion.
Push down on the already-dispensed silicone as you move.
Smooth over the dispensed silicone with a finger but if and only if you have access to silicone/rubber gloves! Touching silicone with your bare hands creates a risk for mold growth later on.
