Hello. Can the cap be screwed back on after use i.e. remove the long application nozzle and replace the screw on cap? Thanks.

Silicone doesn't stick very well to plastic. If it sticks at all try using a long (about 2 inch) drywall screw to extract it. You can even put the screw into the nozzle while the silicone is still gooey and let it harden. Then removal is easy.

Yes the white cap can be reused to seal the tube after using the application nozzle. The nozzle is reusable if cleaned well after each use.

yes I use the cap all the time and throw the long thing away because once you use it the silicone gets hard and you caon't get it out or at least I can't

Sure, that's a good idea. Clean out the nozzle and use it again, or you can let it dry and pull out the plug later. My only complaint is that the new silicones only last a few months then they don't harden anymore. The old stuff lasted ten years or more.

Yes, the cap can be screwed back on. Over time a plug of solid silicone will form in the neck of the tube, but I found that I could easily remove it with a small sharp-pointed knife. Using this method, I have been able to use one tube of silicone for more than a half-dozen projects, up to almost a year after first opening the tube.

I just went in and checked mine. You can, indeed, unscrew the cap and pour it. The spray top is not permanently attached.

I usea a clear silicone adhesive on the top edge of the post and pressed the cap down over it. They have been on for seeral months and appear to be permanently attached. You coulc also drill small holes in the lower edge and attach them with screws but I believe the silicone works better.

It should just twist off. In my experience, aftermarket caps are either too tight or too loose.

yes it will be long enough. what i did with mine was to take a hacksaw and cut it down to size so it looked like a nicer fit. You can do that and then put the nice plastic cap back on the end.

I honestly don't recall how we got the cap off though I don't think it was a problem. If you read the directions all the way through, you'll see that if you leave the cap on, you won't be able to assemble it. Is there a YouTube video??

Looks like there are 4 small Philips screws under the top cap you might try that first ,but the big question is can you buy replacement parts? or will you need to place the head.

open the round cap on the bottom....it's hard so use a screw driver or something else.....fill with water or sand (i used water,cheaper and equally efffective)...put cap back on.....also its heavy so have the base close to wherever it's going to be...good luck

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I first got it. The cap is actually on the "non-pointed" end. I figured the pen was in the "pointed" end, but it is not. Mine was a little tight as well so once I got it off I loosened it up with a little pressure on the inner plastic.

Mine has a black cap over spray nozzle that just pulls off. Some people have a hard time with the actual sprayer...just press it hard.

The tip became permanently glued on after a few uses, so I just unscrew the whole top part and apply glue with a toothpick. It's much easier to control that way anyhow. And it doesn't seem to be drying out.

Yes, you can remove the star on the cap, but you will be left with a big hole after you take it out. I would suggest just taking the star off, painting it black and popping it back in there. Thanks!

Well it should stay on, but if its making a mess point the nozzle up iand pull the plunger slightly. They cram the cap back on. It wont dry out.

Yes you can. Very easily. I just went to the garage to double check. Just disconnect the capped tube at the end of the first line from the last nozzle, cut off the faucet connection to the new mister line and slide it onto where the end cap went. Viola! To remove the tube, just pull back a little plastic ring that clamps it on. Add that to your new line after you remove the faucet attachment thing. So basically, you're taking off the end cap that blocks the water from coming out the far end and sticking on the new mister line where that went. In order to do that you have to cut off the thing that attaches it to your faucet. They don't need a lot of pressure to work so don't worry about the nay-sayers. A half a turn of my faucet gives me plenty of mist so a few more lines won't make any difference.

Did you unscrew the cap and make sure the sealer is removed from the bottle and is there a hole on the tip of the nozzle?

I would remove any attachment before fitting the nozzle on. There's an elastic edge so it might fit but it doesn't stretch that much and would likely be hard to take on and off.

The top cap does come off. There is a lip on it which would make it difficult to attach a hose to and the plastic is not real sturdy. If you were careful you could attach a hose to it.
