do you need caulking gun to use this tube? Can it be used on its own?

Yes, you will need a medium duty caulking gun. There are products (that don't require a caulking gun) that come in squeezable tubes that are okay for small jobs and/or hard to reach locations. However, it is difficult to lay a professional looking bead of caulk with these tubes and comparatively they are very expensive. If you own a home, especially an older one, you will need to do a lot of caulking and a caulking gun is a wise and inexpensive investment. You should purchase a decent one with a rotating metal wire at the end of the gun (where the nozzle of the caulk tube goes) that is used to pierce foil seals in the nozzles of most painter's (acrylic non-silicone) caulks, and will help to break through any hardened residue in an old tube of caulk if you want to use it after it has been sitting around for awhile.

No caulk is needed, but it wouldn't hurt. Just be careful of the threaded plastic adapter, as it can be easily crossthreaded.

don't need to but it's worth it. hole in torch is somewhat small so you will need a funnel otherwise.

I put some Teflon tape on the threads. Then I screwed it on. Then at the back of the spout next to the wall, I put a small bead of caulk around it. But it's not required. I just did it because the people that did the plumbing years ago had my water pipe a hair too long. I ran out of threads and needed a touch of caulk next to the wall. Hope this helped.

it comes with some on the heat sink... but not a separate tube for you to apply manually

Yes, you must use a caulk gun. Perfect for a cooler, repair. Be sure surface is clean/dry & sand lightly.

Definitely can be used on its own. That's the way I use it, and very satisfied with the results!

yes, I did it with mine and it was fine, but don't sterilize the tubing, just rinse with water if needed.

I used this tire with a tube. Not sure of it can be used without. It might be able to, it has a good bead around the rim.

Yes if you use the attachment it comes with. I did not bother because I felt the amount of paint that might get wasted in the long tube was not worth the little hassle of refilling the attached container every few minutes. Plus it helped to remind me to make sure everything was tight and the nozzle buildup was clean each refill or two. It sounds like a pain but once you get in a rhythm it's actually pretty fast.

this is a "use your own judgment" type of installation. If your corner or your tub don't match, just move in towards the tub a little. Once you have installed the unit and caulked around them, allow at least 24 hrs (per caulking recommendation) then use. This is my third (3) set and we love them. Only wish they were invented in the 70's when my kids were little. They do a great job at keeping the floor dry.

Yes. Just let the water out of tube, it is pretty lightweight without water ballast

Only if you want the water to come out of the tubing continuously. Other than that you can just fill it with water and be done.

Kren, you will need a caulk gun (the standard size). It is either liquid nail adhesive or a knock off brand. The one tube supplied does a single garage door. I put mine in a while back and I haven't had any problems. Good luck.

I forgot to write one thing:Self-sealing tubes are generally not recommended, as they weigh too much more than regular tubes without sealant. Carry a liquid sealant if necessary over more severe road surfaces to use as temporary repair while out on the road without own tools or professional repair service access.Always carry a small air tire pump, and a snall, decent repair kit for tires and bicycle hardware.

I dont use it myself, I bought this to my dad. Acording to him, this is the same as the one on the tube, and his very happy with it.

If u cant order one from the manufacturer, then i would fill the tube top with great stuff. It will "foam out" - simply trim off the excess for a water tite seal.
