Claim:
1. A nozzle-down cartridge transport puck to detect surface wear, comprising: (i) an upper sleeve, shaped to receive a caulking cartridge, nozzle-down in vertical alignment to a lower plug portion; and (ii) a substantially solid lower plug portion, comprising a lead face and a bottom face for stable contact and frictional engagement with level planar surface; a center passageway at least partially shaped with a side contact stop collar that includes a surface that tapers from a wider lead surface opening to a narrower bottom surface opening or to a tubular sleeve from the side contact face to the bottom face opening; and at least one funnel-shaped bore into the bottom face with an inserted connector comprising a head and stem, the head spaced within the bore to define a spacing that has been determined to identify bottom face wear.
