Aluminum Follow Plate (Albion #117-16)
The Albion 117-16 Follow Plate speeds up the loading of caulk and chinking from tapered 5 Gallon straight sided metal or plastic pails. It is designed for use with bulk loading 2" Diameter Guns by Albion. Follow plates help load all the chinking or caulk along the sides of straight sided pails while keeping the tip of your caulk gun nozzle clean and ready to use.
DIRECTIONS: Open pail and place Follow Plate directly on top of material (after mixing, if necessary). Press it down firmly to eliminate air pockets. Remove front cap from gun and advance the rod as far forward as it will go. Thread the gun into the Plate. While exerting pressure down onto the plate, pull back on the rod to fill the gun. When full, unthread the gun and replace the cap and nozzle on the gun. Cover the opening on the follow plate with a piece of plastic to limit material contamination and curing between fills.

Product Questions
-
Will this follow plate work with tapered pails?
This type of follow plate unfortunately does not work well with tapered pails. With tapered pails, the top opening has a wider inside diameter than at the bottom of the pail. This follow plate will work great at some point in the middle, but it will leave too much opening when at the top of the pail and it won't make it all the way to the bottom of the pail. We recommend using this follow plate with straight sided pails only.
