FAQs

What size cartridges can this applicator gun use?

This applicator gun is designed for standard cartridges and tubes up to 380ml in volume.

Is this applicator gun suitable for professional use?

While durable for its class, it's best suited for DIY projects or occasional professional use. For heavy-duty, daily professional use, consider higher-end models with more advanced features.

How do I stop the sealant from coming out when I'm not squeezing the trigger?

After each squeeze, locate and engage the pressure release lever (usually a small tab or button near the handle pivot) to stop the flow of sealant.

Can I use this with any brand of sealant?

Yes, as long as the sealant comes in a standard 380ml cartridge or tube that fits the gun's dimensions, it should be compatible.

How do I clean the applicator gun?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For any hardened sealant, carefully scrape it off with a plastic scraper or use a suitable solvent, avoiding damage to the tool.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or Dowsil's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.

Troubleshooting

Sealant not dispensing

Ensure the cartridge is fully loaded and the plunger is engaged. Check that the tube nozzle has been cut open. Verify the pressure release lever is not engaged.

Sealant drips continuously

Make sure to release the pressure on the plunger after each use by engaging the release lever. Ensure the tube tip is not excessively cut.

Trigger feels stiff or difficult to pull

Check for dried sealant or debris around the trigger mechanism and plunger. Clean the affected areas. For very stiff sealants, more force may be required, and this model is best suited for standard-consistency products.

Uneven sealant bead

Ensure the cartridge is centered and the plunger is applying even pressure. Practice on a scrap surface to achieve a consistent bead by controlling the trigger pull and movement speed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Load Cartridge: Open the applicator gun's handle. Insert a 380ml sealant or filler tube, ensuring it sits correctly against the plunger.
  2. Engage Plunger: Close the handle firmly. The plunger should now be in contact with the tube's nozzle.
  3. Prepare Nozzle: Cut the tip of the sealant tube to the desired bead size using a utility knife or cutter.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for standard 380ml sealant and filler cartridges.
  • Compatible with Dowsil Top Gun Tube Range and similar sized tubes.

Care:

  • After Use: Release the pressure on the plunger by engaging the small lever or button, typically located near the handle's pivot point. This prevents continuous sealant flow.
  • Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the applicator gun with a damp cloth. For any dried sealant on the metal parts, use a plastic scraper or a suitable solvent, ensuring not to damage the finish.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture may affect performance.
