The only other thing I can think of is to keep it connected to the old tube until you're ready to use it then attach it to the new tube and pump about 12" of material through it. Not that it would guarantees there wouldn't be a little bit of the old stuff left in the tube. Pierce, I'm not defending this tool, it may very well be a piece of crap, but what's the difference between throwing this away and throwing out 2 or 3 caulk soaked rags trying to fix the mess you made trying to figure out how to caulk the job?

Take your 3 bucks and get lunch, then think of a way to caulk the job without leaving crap behind for your grandkids to deal with. Another disposable piece of junk to fill up our dumps with.
