Hi,
I try to keep tubes of silicon etc for later jobs, but it goes hard in the end of the tube.
I usually get a new nozzle or clean the old one, which is easy, but trying to pull out the solid silicone in the tube end doesn't work most times.

I found a handy tip for this. Get some hard tubing, I used the John Guest 8mm tube which is 10mm outside, and just fits.
Push it through the hard bit, and cut it off so it still fits in the nozzle when replaced, and it works.

I've given up on clearing nozzle and just use a new one every time
