Do I need a caulking gun?

no, its in a tube. Just have to fold up the tube as you use it. This product is for patching small areas. If you are doing a large job, better to get a caulking gun and a tube of caulk.

No, there doesn't have to be. You can caulk around it as an extra step of precaution though if you'd like.

Not to my knowledge, why would you need too? The gun is GREAT! The hole it makes is so small you can't hardly see it. I have cabinet installers that work for me and the pin nailers they buy are about $100.00 bucks. Those those guns use the very same pins I use and my holes DO NOT need putty to fill and hide holes but their guns leave a much bigger hole and it needs touch up or putty on "some" colors. Point being, buy a cheap gun it will cost you time, buy THIS gun and it will not. I recomend this product, I am VERY happy with my purchase.

Sorry to say but yes a hole or sump pit is necessary. The motor needs to be under water if it runs very long in order to have the motor cooled. Also the pump will only pump the water level down to about 3 or 4 inches before it sucks air or the float switch turns off. I dont know of any pumps that will do what you want it to do without a sump hole. I have a 50 gallon plastic drum buried in the floor of my basement to act as a sump. You should only need like maybe a 5 gallon bucket buried in your floor if the water just seeps in gradually. If the incoming water comes in in gushes or like a river you might want something bigger.

I cut a larger tip and needed both hands to squeeze it out of the caulking gun. Not the easiest to apply. Wear 2 layers of disposable gloves and keep extra gloves handy. I carefully smeared the window weld with my finger because I couldn't get a consistent bead with the gun.

No, don't think so you would be better off with silicone caulking like for aquariums

this is a "use your own judgment" type of installation. If your corner or your tub don't match, just move in towards the tub a little. Once you have installed the unit and caulked around them, allow at least 24 hrs (per caulking recommendation) then use. This is my third (3) set and we love them. Only wish they were invented in the 70's when my kids were little. They do a great job at keeping the floor dry.

I would expect you would want it to be at least above 10 degrees Celsius... But you could check the specs of the caulking. Below that temp the rubber seal might be hard to work with as well. Ideally about 20+ degrees is best. Hope that helps! It's a great product worked very well for me on three doors.

Try 3m caulk remover. May not dissolve it, but at least should make removal easier

Yes, typically a standard caulking gun is used. Here is the measurement of each tube for your reference: 8 1/2" height & 2" wide. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

I don't see why not if using the right box and proper caulking. Robert M. suggested using Arlington model DHB1W for this. I would check that out.

This is a great gun that is for 10.0 to 10.5 oz standard caulk tubes. I'm not familiar with 5 oz caulk but can't imagine that it would fit. If you visit a hardware store, you will see standard size tubes: 10.0 - 10.5 oz plus the larger standard 28 oz tubes (uses a different gun).

No, but I have used the Great Stuff Pro Series Insulating Foam Sealant flexible and non bowing window and door with this gun and it worked great. Just make sure to clean the nozzle with Vaseline prior to storage so it does not get clogged.

Depends how well you insulate the splice. I would cover it with silicone caulk.

There will be a button to press behind the back grip. Press that and pull that handle out, you will then be able to put the tube in. Also, you'll see a hole on the side of the gun. Put the tip of the tube in there and it will cut the tube of caulk. Hope this helps

No it does not need to be covered at all. If a little water gets in through the holes that could only help the process

Colored caulking should wash off with hot soapy water, try that first. If not the goof off should do the job.
