In Response To: Material: Storing 3M 4200? (Doug S)

: I went to West Marine to pickup a tube of Lexel/3M 4200 - they
: either had a small squeeze tube of 4200 for $14 or a 3x+ bigger
: caulk gun tube for $21. Well, my spasticness got the best of me
: and bought the bigger tube.

: I'm not sure how much I need - but I'm fairly certain it's less
: than this whole bigger tube. Since it's used in a caulk gun, you
: slice the applicator and puncture the head of the tube itself.

: Does anyone have any recommendations for how I could close this
: back up for use later? My father-in-law mentioned something
: about pushing a nail down it (and then continued with cutting
: out hardened 4200 later), but I'm not 100% certain about that.

: Ideas?

: Thanks.

I've had good luck storing Auquaseal in the freezer, I'm not sure if that would work with 4200.
