The Genius PVC Pipe Hack That Will Keep Your Caulk Tubes Organized And Tidy

After you choose the perfect caulk for any job, you'll need to keep it organized, whether you're in the construction business or a home DIYer. Unless your caulk tubes are in a caulking gun, odds are that they're rolling around in your cabinets thanks to their cylindrical shape. This can quickly pose a safety issue, especially if one rolls onto the floor while you're working. But a genius TikTok hack shared by @the_daily_diy explains that you just need to attach 2" PVC couplings for instant organization of all your caulk tubes. 

You can purchase these 2" PVC couplings at Ace Hardware for $1.79 each. If you attach 10, for example, you'll spend less than $20, gaining unbeatable organization. If you have old PVC pipes in your workshop, you could cut them to size, creating this caulk tube storage space for free. You also need PVC cement for this hack, available on Amazon for just about $10. The beauty of this DIY hack is that it's completely customizable, so you can attach as many or as few PVC couplings as you need to organize all your tubes of caulk.

Once you have your 2" PVC couplings, use the PVC cement to connect them. If you don't have glue, you could always use tape to attach them. Just keep in mind that PVC cement takes upwards of two hours to fully cure, so give it plenty of time to dry before organizing your space. Additionally, you want to wear gloves and goggles when working with this glue, minimizing exposure to the substance. Since you can tailor this DIY hack to meet your exact needs, you can create storage that fits into a variety of spaces. If you have a large work cabinet, then you can attach several rows of PVC couplings. But if your storage space is narrow, you can alter this project to reflect small spaces. 

The great thing about this trick is that you can use it for tons of items if they fit into your PVC pipes. For example, if you're a painting and have an abundance of rollers lying around, you can use this trick to organize them. You can also use these PVC couplings to prevent loose screws from rolling around while working on a project. If you need to add an extra coupling, you can do so with ease. If they're taped together, you can also remove them as needed. No matter what you use this hack for, it'll help you organize your garage like a professional.
