These guns work great! It backs off a bit each time you release the trigger, so it's best to layout what you want and put it on in as continuous bead as possible.

The thickest I've used it with is Blackjack roof cement, which is basically the consistency of tar.

And, yes, you can take it down to a fine bead using the proper combination of gun setting and speed you mmove over the surface. No need to pause or surge for hand pumps ;)

I've owned one for many years and recently changed the batteries to Li-ion

thanks for the user testimonial. sounds like a plan if I can't find the stuff in a can. would like to use a urethane type as that was recommended.

I was camping in tx last year and was doing calking on the roof , when I came down another camper came over and said he was having trouble calking. I told him I either put my tube in the front window or got the hair drier and heated the tube. Just make sure your tube is warm, makes life easier.

I use Heng's Rubber roof coating.

Bumpy, I hear your pain of dealing with caulking guns. But if you need a caulk-ish substance, you have no choice but to use a gun, or a smaller squeeze-tube which apparently is not available with Dicor. And then spread it over a larger surface with a putty knife if you have to, but do it quickly because the surface starts "skinning" after a few minutes and then it doesn't adhere well to the parts that you are working on.

I see there was a previous thread on the Dico product, "Good Caulking". very little "substance". lots of whining that it wasn't Dicor. :)

thanks, not too much information at the links I found. the 20/20 is evidently a rubber based?

Why? This isn't by Dicor. And this isn't for same applications. If it can be brushed on, then it is less dense than the stuff in caulking gun and may need coating twice.
