Features of the inexpensive silicone gun FOME FLEX Black Edition

The FOME FLEX Black Edition silicone gun is a simple yet very high-quality cartridge gun in skeleton construction. The advantage of this construction is a low weight and at the same time very high stability. The solid metal housing is completely powder-coated in black. The ergonomic design of the handle always provides a secure grip and sits well in the hand. For more flexibility when applying sealants, the cartridge holder can be rotated. Especially when the cartridge tip is cut at an angle, this is a positive aspect and makes handling much easier.

Even the cheapest silicone gun in our online shop does not have to do without useful functions, such as the infinitely variable feed, which allows precise, even application of the MS polymer, or the drip-stop function.

To keep your hands free when changing the cartridge or to smooth out the freshly applied silicone, the silicone gun is equipped with a hook for hanging. This is a useful feature, especially when sealing at ceiling height, because you don't always have to climb down the ladder and back up again.

Handling of the cartridge gun FOME FLEX Black Edition

To seal windows and expansion joints, or to fill corners and cracks with acrylic before painting, the cartridge must be inserted into the silicone gun. To do this, the slide must be pulled out completely while holding down the lock on the back of the gun. Then insert the cartridge tip through the front circular opening and place the cartridge in the cartridge holder. To prevent it from falling out again immediately, the slide must be pushed forward again while the lock is released by holding the lever.

The cartridge is changed in reverse order. First loosen the slider completely by pulling it out as far as it will go and then remove the cartridge. Some cartridge tips have an additional eyelet. If such a tip was screwed on after the cartridge was inserted, it must be unscrewed again before removing the cartridge. Otherwise it may well happen that the cartridge tip cannot be pulled through the round opening at the front of the gun.

The processing of silicones, painter's acrylics or other adhesives and sealants in conventional cartridges is done in simple, successive steps. In the first, the cartridge is inserted as described above and - if not already done - cut open with a cutter knife. After the tip has also been unscrewed and cut to the desired diameter, the sealant can be applied into the joint or onto the surface. To do this, the handle lever must be pulled until the desired flow rate matches in quantity and speed. The stepless feed is not a matter of course with such a simple gun, but it makes it much easier to apply the sealant evenly. After the sealant has been applied, the locking lever is pressed briefly, which triggers the drip-stop mechanism and prevents the silicone from running. Finally, if necessary, the joint can be smoothed out with a joint smoother or finger and the silicone cartridge removed.

TIP: The powder-coated housing in satin black is easy to clean. In principle, tools - including the silicone gun - should be cleaned of adhesions and impurities after use. Especially if the cross-linking of sealants has not yet been completed, these can be easily removed with a damp cloth and a little soap solution. This keeps the silicone gun in good condition for many years.
