Mordekyle Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Thanks for the tip. I did notice the sunlight thing. The pumping got easier as the caulking warmed up.Here's another tip:Don't forget your adhesive gun at home like I did today. But if you do, buy the Dripless 2500(?) from Sherwin Williams for $18.It works great with Quad Max.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeDewalt Posted August 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Why 3/4 for Walls ?? Seems like a waster 1/2 or 5/8 are code compliant where I live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is better to over do it than under do it. Yeah I'm just not buying that answer. The sheathing doesn't control the shear strength of the wall. And thicker plywood will only have the ability to absorbe more moisture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsayles13 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I've used the Milwaukee 18v for urethane while doing auto glass, it was a huge time saver and made running beads effortless. During the colder months the urethane would be really hard to work with in a normal gun.

zinzander Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 the great thing with an electric gun is that it is easier to run a consistent bead of silicon as you don't have release and squeeze the trigger like a manually gun, you just hold the trigger at the desired pressure.and you get a continuous flow rate and even bead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr8ondt Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I have the Ryobi caulk gun, its great for mass glueing but I pull out the hand powered gun for detail work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
