This gun is designed to accept standard caulk cartridges, typically 10 oz (310 ml). It works with common sealants such as silicone, acrylic latex, and polyurethane. When using a new cartridge, cut the nozzle to the desired bead size before loading.

First, retract the plunger rod fully. Insert the cartridge into the frame with the nozzle facing forward. Push the plunger until it contacts the cartridge, reassemble the rod, and press the release lever. Cut the nozzle to the desired bead size, then gently squeeze the trigger to start applying caulk. Maintain steady pressure and smooth motion as you move along the joint.

The Total THT21309 is suitable for a variety of standard sealants, including silicone, acrylic latex, and polyurethane caulks. Always check the product label for compatibility and viscosity to ensure optimal performance.

Prepare the joint clean and dry, cut the nozzle to the right size, and apply steady, continuous pressure while moving the gun at a constant pace. Maintain a consistent angle and distance from the surface, and release the trigger slightly at the end of each stroke to avoid excess caulk buildup.

Wipe away any excess wet caulk from the gun surfaces, remove the cartridge, and wipe the rod and frame dry. If needed, use a mild solvent appropriate for the sealant type to remove residue. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent rust or corrosion.

Wear gloves and eye protection to guard against splashes. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended pressure, and release the trigger when not actively applying caulk. Work in a well-ventilated area when using solvent-based sealants.
