In respect to this, what can I use if I don't have a caulking gun?

A t-shaped stick (like the handle of a hammer) can be used when you have no caulking gun. Put the long end into the back of the tube and the t part in the crook of your elbow. Firmly grasp the tube with the same hand. By bending your wrist towards your elbow you can create enough pressure to deliver the caulk.

Beside above, how do you use a caulking gun for the first time?

1. Step 1: Load Caulk. Release the gun by thumbing the plunger at the rear of the gun.
