Indoor painters caulk is pretty easy but some of the outdoor stuff in the big tubes... oh ouch, hello early arthritis.

My sister-in-law, uses the air powered version for neutral cure silicone caulking insulated glass units. That is also what she used when sealing my '87 300TD rear glass. Though she has been doing this for years and must have the technique down better than most, she claims the ease and control of the mechanical air/electric do a better job when having to spend so much time applying it. After reading your reply, I'll have to ask her if she has ever thought of trying one of the battery powered units. I guess with most of her work being in shop, the compressed air makes sense. However, when she is doing favors for the family members the portable would seem to make sense. Maybe I'll have to get her one for the next holiday . . . thanks for the thought.
