Just bought a sealant gun,currently on offer at Lidl. The barrel part is
a complete cylinder rather than just a frame. It appears to have two
modes of operation.
In the first mode, it takes a 'normal' sealant cartridge (although I
don't think it's long enough for the likes of Gripfill.
In the other mode, you fit one of the supplied nozzles and the large
'piston' washer, and presumably fill the cylinder with something or
other. The illustration shows it being filled with something which looks
like a black pudding, tied at both ends! Anyone know what its *actual*
intended use is? The piston washer has what appears to be an intentional
radial cut, so it presumably doesn't form a complete seal? Has anyone
put any loose material in one and, if so, with what result?

Cheers,

It's a German sausage dispenser for lunch breaks.

back of the nozzle are to puncture the sausage?
Not sure I shall be using it for sausages - ordinary cartridges should
suffice.

Standard short carts, no problem and you'll find the longer ones just
fit if you trim off the wasted inch at the end and just screw the gun
ends on enough. It's a good gun, but a stupidly short one.
