Question: I'm sure this is a very dumb question, but I'm new at this do-it-yourself stuff...........I can't get the tube of caulk out of the gun. I'm twisting the lever to release the pressure on the tube, but there still doesn't seem to be room to get the tube out. What am I doing wrong???

Answer: Sometime caulk will squeeze onto the inside of the tube causing a blockage when trying to pull the caulk gun plunger out.Check to see if this is the case then cut out the excess caulking causing the block.
