Ideally, I would use Tiger Seal as it is an automotive product but at £8 plus a tube, and the fact that it hardens so easily, I can't afford to buy it and end up only being able to use half.
Definitely don't put the end in water, it will go off even quicker as it cures by reacting with moisture.
That trick is for silicone sealant.
Stick a 2-3 inch screw down the nozzle after use,then when needed again screw it out,it'll be clear to go again

Sorry for the minor thread hijack....I have a Morris Minor and have made the usual repairs to the rear edge of the front wings that are awful water traps. It is nigh on impossible to get inside the wing to apply sealant to the joint and wondered what the collective wisdom is for getting protection in there. It would ideally need to have something anti-corrosive in there first (Dinitrol wax or similar) and then a sealant that wouldn't lift or crack. There are little 'edges' to the repair panels where I couldn't get a file over to smooth off so something like Raptor might also need to go on at some point (I don't have air-fed gear, though) or stonechip between layers of paint. Whatever was used to seal the back end would need to be somewhat liquified to run back far enough. Not even a small artists' brush will get all the way back.
Ant thoughts would be appreciated.
