IIRC theres some small ball type things in the end to absorb moisture or something like that, a normal applicator gun should work fine

When the cartridge is in the gun ,it needs a really good strong squeeze on the trigger to break the metal seal at the end
You will feel it go when it does

i will have another go tomorrow with the tiger seal after ive done lakeside with the mrs ](*,) , as for autopista i pulled off my spoiler today to see how it fits only took a couple of mins quite suprised and i didnt break the plastic clips,
someone told me thay can break quite easy, must admit thay do hold the spoiler very well it just dropped onto bootlid and i had to prise it off, got to get some prices for painting might have to wait a little while yet though as i have a holiday comming up might be able to find some spare cash hopefully.

Hi. I may be a little late, but we use tiger seal all the time where i work.
All ya gotta do is knife the sealed tin part at the top of the tube out. I use a stanley. This will reveal a plastic bit that your normal gun will push. Ya might wanna do it over a bin though, as those little balls go everywhere.
