Default How can I seal caulking cartridges?

I often find myself with half a cartridge of expensive caulking material in
a cartridge. I am talking about the cartridge that has a movable bottom and
a spout and fits in a ratcheting dispenser.

I have tried sticking nails in the spout but, invariably, the darned things
dry out or congeal anyway.

Anyone have a workable solution to this problem? - Thanks



I fold a strip of painter's tape over the tip and seal it well. Works
fine with latex caulk. I've seen tubes
with caps, or was it caps sold separately? )
