Abstract: A viscous construction material tube cap and strapping apparatus includes an elastic strap. A construction material tube cap has dimension chosen to fit over a nozzle of a construction material tube, where the construction material tube cap defines a plurality of apertures having dimensions for passing the elastic strap. A base is dimensioned to fit over a bottom of the construction material tube. The base includes an air seal that substantially prevents air from entering into the bottom of the tube of construction material. The base also includes a feature on the outer surface of the base that is dimensioned to secure the elastic strap.

Abstract: A pressure nozzle support includes a body. A first and second guide is attached or integral to the body and is formed in a shaped that glides along a vertical surface. A nozzle coupling is attached to the body or integral to the body behind the first and second guides. The nozzle coupling is configured to support a pressure nozzle that provides a stream of pressured fluid in a region between the first and second fixed guide and is positioned at a height above a bottom surface of each of the first and second fixed guides so that a nozzle positioned therein will be at a predetermined distance away from the vertical surface.
