Foiled again ….

Dek: A tip-top tip

Marc Chartrand of Atelier Nord Design/Construction in Lachine, Que., has this super-simple caulking tip all wrapped up.

When working with caulking and the job is finished but the tube is not all used up, I seal the end with the aluminum foil tape used for ductwork. It keeps the tube fresh for months before the tip starts to clog up.
