I used a gun similar o the 3m that a buddy had, but you do need to use some type of gun the get it through the mixing tip. You might be able to push it out and mix it by hand but the proportions might not be right .

You will need to have the appliance (gun) that distributes the two part product product in equal portions to the work area.David

I had the same question that you have. I called 3M directly and they told me while it is possible to use this product without the caulking gun, they do not recommend it. If the two adhesives do not mix properly then you may not get the bond that you are looking for. Best to spend the $60 for the gun and do it right the first time.

The gun is very helpful. I was able to use a razor knife and empty all of it onto a piece of sheet metal and mix it that way.

You definitely need the gun to push the tube pistons against the back pressure that develops from the mixing nozzle. Amazon does carry a low cost gun (about $40) if you don't intend to use a product like this often instead of buying the expensive shop use version.

You can't. You need a gun with a firing pin in a caliber available from LaserLyte or Laser Ammo.

No, you have to buy the laser. This saves you from using your own guns and dry firing them. Also, this is a DA some pistols are SA.

It should work, shake can well before and during use, do not remove gun from can until it is empty.

My local Home Depot carries Great Stuff both in the diy can and the one that attaches to the Fomo Gun. You could look at the connection on a can and see if it matches. I am on my second can of foam through the gun. Two good reasons for using the gun.1) You can start and stop. I use it when I need it and then put it down. The seal is at the tip of the gun so the foam inside stays fluid. 2) with a little practice you can create a bead of expanding foam about the same size as a caulk bead. I can seal a lot of small air gaps with a small amount of foam.

Yes keep in mind this is a toy. Not meant for real guns. Use lock tight and will work fine .

I'm pretty sure that's what I did. Worst case you need to by a fitting that all hardware store carries that only cost few dollars. Just to let you know we have been using it everything day since we got it and it ls the best gun we have. I have much more expensive guns but my workers fights over this one.

You should be able to use it without any problem. Proper lubrication to the hammer is very important.

I do that with the air compressor, so no you can't with this gun. It is a little annoying because there is a bit of hunting to get it right sometimes.

You have to disassemble the gun to do this I wouldn't do that unless you are pretty mechanical as it is something that should be left to the professional.

Negative, I had to buy an adapter. But I got rid of that gun. I would not invest any more into that POS

I wouldnt recommend it. It would take a very long time. Invest the money and get an actual sausage stuffer to save time and frustration. However, the gun works amazingly for making jerky!

There are plenty of good short videos on youtube that show you exactly how to do it. The only tool you really need is a small screwdriver. It is very easy even if you have never done any work on a gun.

as long as you are not in a tight corner you should have no problem. Gun is great. Used for garage shelving, shed and porch extension. No problems. Only issue is that they do not sell the nails at your local hardware stores or at HD or Lowes. Need to order online. Not a bad deal as long as you have what you need. If you run out, you wait until the mail comes.

I don't think so.I looked into that and it seems to be counter productive.The spray should be all you need.

I think it is possible to take it along without any special permit inasmuch as it is not a weapon.

Not at all, but it looks really cool. It can work just fine without them, but It completes the gun.
