Hotmelt helps cork caulk tubes
Over the years I’ve tried nails, screws, plastic wrap, wire nuts—you name it—to seal opened nozzles.

Over the years I've tried nails, screws, plastic wrap, wire nuts—you name it—to seal opened nozzles. None of those items proved effective; after a few weeks a hardened mass of caulk, silicone, or adhesive formed in the nozzle. Finally I tried placing a dab of hotmelt glue on the opened end. To my pleasant surprise, the resulting airtight seal kept the nozzle's contents workable for months.
