Putting a regular pin in the applicator tip ends up rusted. Any one else have any clever ideas to "close" the applicator tip and avoid drying?
Check your local hardware store for "Caulk Backer Rod." Basically a foam noodle that can be cut into half-inch sections to be used as a cheap version of PinMoors. I put one over the applicator tip and, just 'cause, put a little glue inside to dry and block any potential airflow. I used a needle/thread to make a tie to go around the glue bottle so the cover doesn't get lost.[ATTACH=CONFIG]597647[/ATTACH]
