I was wondering if you could get extra long nozzles for silicone
cartridges - getting behind mixer taps can be a problem - and it turns
out you can;

They also have a selection of removal tools;

Which looks a bit sensible. And;

I've ordered one of each along with some 175mm nozzles - I'll report back.

Also a large selection of Fugen type tools & a huge selection of
coloured silicone's.

Useful site.

Take two nozzles, cut at an angle at roughly the same diameter. Join by heating
with a lighter until the plastic (universally polyethylene, I think) melts and
turns almost liquid, push together, let cool.

There's your bespoke angled and extended nozzle...

A similar tol was available at Lidl last year, I got two, they work
well.

I think spending 35p is easier :-)

B&Q sell them. Cheaper than the linked one, too, IIRC.
