Claim Text:
1. A closure system for resealing a caulking tube nozzle of a caulking tube, the caulking tube nozzle having a straight cylindrical portion located near the caulking tube and a frusto-conical end portion located away from the caulking tube, the closure system comprising: a hollow adaptor adapted to be removably secured to the caulking tube nozzle, the hollow adaptor comprising a first open end for sealingly receiving the caulking tube nozzle, a second open end and a passageway extending therebetween; and a plug for sealingly engaging the second open end to prevent caulking from exiting the passageway through the second open end, wherein the plug comprises an elongated body extending into the passageway when the plug engages the second open end, thereby increasing pressure in the passageway in order to prevent caulking from being further dispensed from the caulking tube nozzle; and wherein the second end portion of the passageway is internally threaded and the elongated body of the plug is externally threaded to sealingly engage the second end portion.
