If you are an occasional caulker, you don’t need to spend too much on a caulking gun. Typically cheaper caulking guns have skinny cradles and less robust handles, but are still good for occasional jobs. The downside is that silicone caulk tends to be more expensive, but the more important issue is that you cannot paint over silicone. It is because silicone is so non-porous that the paint simply peels off the surface. This means that it is not recommended to be used in situations where you want to paint over the surface.

When doing repair works, remove the old sealing and thoroughly clean the surface for the caulk to adhere properly. Caulking over the old silicone is never a good idea.

However, I don't think this is necessary with the amount of screws I used! Adding a Bottom Shelf for Silicone Nozzles You’re going to re-tape the nozzle when you use it in the future.
