Glue applicator for "sausages"

DMB · 7 Apr 2011

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me with a flooring query...

We had our solid wood floor fitted recently, but due to a big ordeal with the fitters, I have decided on fitting the remaining area myself (long story).

Anyway, the fitters used special glue "sausages", which are encased in foil. I have one of these which is enough to finish the small area, but what I don't have is an applicator i.e. specific type of glue gun.

I have an ordinary standard glue gun (for use with hard plastic tubes such as caulk and sealant).

Question is, is there a way I can use my ordinary gun, thus not having to fork out for a new one.

Thanks in advance for any help, it would be much appreciated

Walls.

Sorry

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm not sure, but will have a look when I get home and get back to you.

Thanks again

Edit to say... if you reeled off a few brands i'd probably recognise the name. Other than that, i'll get back to you.

Cheers WYL,

I don't think its one of those brands, but I have also find one that appears to be universal. I wonder if this would do the job... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Silverline-Si...Material_Paint_Varnish_MJ&hash=item2a0f0b3c5f

Are those suitable for the silicone sausage adhesives?

Either way, i've just bought the one off eBay for £8 odd. Thought it was worth a try at that price.

Cheers folks.

If they're 600cc sausages you'll need a proper gun. You won't be able to use a cartridge gun.
