If one go on the 'e-bay' or seek them out wherever...

There are Pnuematic 'Calking Guns' which accpet the two ( 2)
standard size Caulk Tubes, which could be fitted with those
dies (and or also empty tubes or tubing) that allow them to
become smallish Extruders...

Save on all that squeeeeezin'...

If no one else feels like it, maybe I will look into
'inventing' this.
