Just read a story recently, illustrating market analysis when
inventing, about some poor guy who invented a way to get the hard
silicone out of the tips.........but the bigger hardware stores were
giving the tips away for free! :-

I don't use 5200 but for other substances that come in tubes I save the
"empty" tubes to cut open and dig out the dregs for small jobs.

For removing plugs from nozzels I find a wood screw usually works. It's
the first thing I try before attacking the plug with a piece of stiff wire
(clothes hanger or bicylce spoke) or a nail.

One problem I've found plugging some nozzels with a nail is the nail can rust
and discolour the contents of the tube near the nozzel. I'm probably
thinking of latex house caulk here.
