Product Information
Full details
The XTrade Caulking Gun is a robust, professional-grade tool designed for contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require consistent, controlled application of sealants and adhesives. Its primary strength lies in its reliable dispensing mechanism, which handles 310ml and 350ml cartridges with ease, though users should note it is designed specifically for standard cartridge sizes and not for bulk sausage packs.

FAQs
Does this gun work with 400ml cartridges?
No, this model is specifically engineered for 310ml and 350ml standard cartridges.
Can I use this for sausage packs?
No, this is a rigid frame gun designed for hard-sided cartridges only.
How do I prevent the trigger from getting gummed up?
Regularly wipe the plunger rod clean and avoid letting sealant drip into the mechanical trigger housing.
Is the frame made of metal?
Yes, it features a heavy-duty metal construction for professional durability.
Do I need to maintain the internal springs?
Keeping the moving parts clean of debris is usually sufficient; a light application of lubricant can help if the action stiffens over time.
Troubleshooting
The trigger feels stuck or stiff.
Check for dried sealant residue on the plunger rod or inside the frame. Clean with a solvent appropriate for the sealant used.
Sealant continues to flow after releasing the trigger.
Immediately press the quick-release lever at the rear to remove pressure from the cartridge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your XTrade Caulking Gun, depress the release lever at the rear of the tool and pull the plunger rod back completely. Insert your 310ml or 350ml cartridge, nozzle-first, ensuring the base is seated properly. Push the plunger rod forward until it meets the cartridge base, then squeeze the trigger to prime the flow. For care, wipe away excess sealant immediately after use before it cures. Periodically lubricate the trigger pivot point and plunger rod with a light machine oil to ensure the mechanism remains smooth and responsive.
