Roof Tube Tip Sizing Cheat Sheet 

 

.25” Fastener Grade Tip - 

  • Installing normal sprayable top coat elastomerics on Fasteners 
  • Installing rust primer over rusty fastener heads. 
  • Some Fastener Grade Mastics work well with this tip
  • Use if the .47 tip feels to mess
  • Take this tip out to draw your material into the tube then re-insert

 

.47” and .625” Fastener Grade Tips - 

  • These tips are often interchangeable throughout the day.  
  • On roller mornings where the mastics are a little stiffer the .625 will work great… AS the day heats up the .47 might offer a tighter pattern around screw heads and help to eliminate stringers in between fasteners. 
  • If the .625 Feels messy, With the .47
  • If the .47 feels slow, or you are having to push too hard Switch to the .625
  • Do not try and draw the material through these tips…unscrew them from the bottom, then re-insert them after filing the tube.
