For smaller amounts I mixed up a batch then used popsicle sticks from the craft store to push it into a syringe from the vet. Makes it very easy to apply small amounts. Let the remainder cure in the syringe for a day or two and then clean it out. The cured proseal pushes back up the tube easily with a wire and you can use the syringe again. Works really good.

I bought the quart for fuel tanks, then ran out when installing the firewall. I knew that I would not need another full quart, so I bought the 3.5 ounce and separate the white portion from the black portion. Simple. Then put each part in separate plastic storage containers.
I might have lost a small amount of each, but most was/is still available for he next thing I need to do.

Caulking tubes
Has anyone used regular sized caulking gun tubes to shoot our Proseal? There's a vendor on E-bay that will sell 12 empty tubes for about $15 plus shipping. They are meant to be used with a regular sized caulking gun. I'm thinking about using them. I would like to cut them in half, and fill them with pre-mixed Proseal. Is Proseal to thick for these tubes to work?

Consider the space you have to work in.

Catheter tip syringe
I highly recommend the 60 mm catheter tip syringe for proseal application. I bought 10 for about $11 on Amazon. Premix the proseal and fill the syringe. Better and cheeper than caulking gun.

Never used caulk tubes but did use large food syringes. They also drop into a caulk gun. Check ranch supply stores.
Like this one. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/329648...SABEgLrmfD_BwE

Don't hate me for this, but I'm building a SPA Panther that uses sealed "pop-rivets" to assemble the fuel tanks. I'm looking for a way to quickly shoot the Proseal on all 6 ribs, spread it out, and rivet all ribs to the fuel tank skins, before the Proseal sets up. Two hours doesn't seem like a lot of time to me.

In that case I wouldn't use a caulk tube. Just mix a batch and spread it with tongue depressors.
