Description
The Monarch Professional Dripless Caulking Gun is a heavy duty steel applicator for tradies and keen DIYers who want smooth, controlled sealant and adhesive application without the mess. It is built to give steady control from the first squeeze to the last, with dripless technology to help keep beads tidy and workspaces clean.
About the design
The frame is powder coated steel in an orange and chrome finish, giving a solid feel for regular site use. A quick release lever makes changing cartridges fast, and the dripless mechanism is there to help stop material oozing from the nozzle when you let go of the trigger. It also has a built-in seal punch and nozzle cleaner, so you can pierce the cartridge seal and clear a blocked nozzle without reaching for another tool.
Where to use it
Indoors: sealing around baths, basins, sinks and showers, gap filling along skirtings, architraves and cornices, and fixing panels or trims with cartridge adhesives.
Outdoors: weatherproofing around window and door frames, sealing gutters and flashings, and applying construction adhesive on outdoor building jobs.
It suits all standard cartridges, so it works with the common silicone, acrylic, polyurethane and construction adhesive cartridges sold in Australia. Other formats, such as sausage packs or compact mini cartridges, generally need a matching gun.
How to use it
Release the lever and pull the plunger rod fully back. Cut the cartridge nozzle at an angle to suit the bead size you need, then pierce the inner seal with the built-in seal punch. Drop the cartridge into the frame, then squeeze the trigger steadily to feed the material and apply a continuous bead. When you stop, release the lever to relieve pressure at the nozzle. Use the nozzle cleaner if the tip clogs. Wipe the gun down after use, following the cartridge manufacturer's instructions for cleaning off uncured product.
Important notes
This is a manual hand tool only. It does not contain or include any sealant or adhesive, so cartridges are sold separately. Always check the cartridge manufacturer's directions for surface preparation, tooling time and cure times. Do not use excessive force on the trigger, as this can damage the frame or the cartridge.
