Kit featuring various size caulking tips and corresponding caps

Abstract

A kit is provided that features a set of caulking tips and a set of caulking tip caps. The set of caulking tips have apertures with various diameters for applying caulking with a selected bead size, each of said caulking tips having a respective gripping area. The set of caulking tip caps have various corresponding diameters, each opening dimensioned to fit over a respective one of the caulking tips for closing the caulking tip after use. The caulking tips, or the caulking tip caps, or both, are made of a lightweight metal. Each caulking tip cap has a self-tapping thread on an inner surface for screwing onto the gripping area of a respective caulking tip. The lightweight metal is about 1/16″ thick. The caulking tips have a self-tapping thread on its inner surface for screwing onto a corresponding caulking tip of a container of caulking. The caulking tips each have an aperture with a different diameter, including the sizes 1/16″, ⅛″, 3/16″, ¼″. The kit also may include a cleaning tool for cleaning the caulking tips after use.
