yup, just pushes out.

I've tried using empty cartridges for such things as cement when pointing
between slabs. Seemed the ideal thing. However, I found that you cannot push
wet cement through a nozzle. It just firms up like sand on the seashore does
when you tread on it.

yeah, its a shame, as one would be ideal for pointing brickwork. There
are mortars you can use that will work with them, but not sharp sand
based ones.

Before cartridges I used a polythene bag. Put your stuff in, snip off
the corner, off ya go. No cleaning either.
