Anyone know where to get empty cartridges (the sort they fill with silicone
etc) that one could fill oneself (as in DIY :-) ? Should cost more like 25
pence.

Yes, but you aren't paying for the empty cartridge - it's the air they
have to ship with it that costs the money!

Looking at that design suggests to me that it surely can't be all that
difficult to fabricate your own "empty" cartridge. All you need do is
buy a tube of regular sealant (£1.60-ish), vacate the cartridge, and
then cleanse it out.

Surely job done?
