When I start a new tube, I've always used a syringe to apply the sealant - there's more control and it's not as messy.
Then I realized if the syringe worked on a new tube, it could just as well work on a used one...by making a new hole in the tube. Poke the awl into a likely spot and give the tube a slight squeeze. If nothing comes out, try another place.
This spot was dry
Struck paydirt here as witnessed by the sealant on the awl.
After loading what I need into the syringe, I squeeze a little more out of the tube and let the sealant set up, healing the hole and making the tube ready for my next project.
This tube has been used for several projects over the last month.
And this is how you get the last little bit.
