I have a new ostomy bag. It comes with a paste (in a tube about the
size of a tooth paste tube) that you squeeze out around the opening to
seal it. It would be nice to have something like a caulk gun to
squeeze it out of the tube.

Anyone know of something like this?

Years ago, they made "keys" that you would use to roll up the
toothpaste tube and, in doing so, dispense the paste without
"squishing" the tube in the middle.

It looked like a slotted (plastic) dowel with a "wing nut"
sort of end. You slipped the crimped end of the toothpaste
tube (when they were metal) into the slot in the dowel.
Then, turned the "wing nut" end to roll the tube up onto
the dowel. Of course, as you do so, you are decreasing the
volume available inside the tube and thus forcing paste out the
other end.

I've also seen a different product that ran the tube through
a sort of "wringer" like on the ancient washing machines ("tubs")
to much the same effect.
