Interested to see if there are any more magic tips!
I saw something on facebook the other day about melting a bit of plastic milk bottle over the end, but it seemed too much like hard work to me! http://www.instructables.com/id/Resealing-Half-Used-Caulk-Tubes/
It doesn't stop it completely but it is usually ok for one or two more uses.

Alternatively, when you buy a new tube,don't cut the nozzle and use one off an old tube.You can then use the new,uncut nozzel to seal the tube.

The solution is.... Vaseline. When you're done sealing stuff, pull the plunger back a bit and hopefully the sealant will retract a bit in the nozzle, then push a cm or so of Vaseline down the end of the nozzle. This keeps an airtight seal and the contents never dry out. When you go to reuse it, just squeeze out the Vaseline until you get just sealant again and you're good to go.
Works with all kinds of tube-based stuff that dries out apparently.

next time take the cap/ nozzle off, mobilise the skewer again and bobs your uncle, nice open nozzle again, screw back on and off you go
Sick bastard
Does anyone else have any other DIY tips to share? It could turn into a useful thread...
