I often find myself with half a cartridge of expensive caulking material in

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

out. Then again, yanking it out *might* pull out the dried chalk.
Something more like this would work well

I have one item like this, but longer and larger. Works great!
