Well, if you do, you won't have to worry about your gums drying out over time.

The only issue with buying a tube of gummi or shin-etsu is that you have to include it in your will. A regular-sized tube will last several lifetimes for the average automotive hobbyist.

As in "unnecessary" or "needs to be removed after the first use"?

The applicator is an imprecise way to apply / direct the product onto the various shaped surfaces. The applicator stays affixed to the bottle - meaning that you have the length of the bottle to contend with in trying to get into some of the tighter locations. I thought it was unnecessary at a minimum - but also detrimental to getting the job done.

Yes. It's supposed to arrive later today. (Amazon.)
I understand that the size of the tube as it appears on Amazon is much smaller looking than it actually is. Will end up being a lifetime supply I think.
