A method of custom coloring sealant;

• the method comprising:
• providing a dispensing container, having a first end portion, an open interior compartment, and a bottom wall that is selectively positionable at various locations along a long axis of the dispensing container, within the open interior compartment, toward and away from the open first end portion of the dispensing container;
• the bottom wall being located in a first position that defines a first volume within the interior compartment;
• a pull string having a first end portion being secured to the bottom wall of the dispensing container;
• providing a quantity of sealant base solution within the interior compartment of the dispensing container;
• providing a nozzle, having an open interior portion and opposite first and second end portions, the first end portion being shaped and sized to be secured with the first end portion of the dispensing container so that the interior compartment of the dispensing container is placed in open fluid communication with the interior portion of the nozzle;
• providing a supplemental container having an interior portion that is at least partially filled with a quantity of sealant thickener;
• providing a quantity of a coloring agent;
• the first volume being insufficient to simultaneously hold said quantity of sealant base solution and said quantity of sealant thickener;
• moving the bottom wall of the dispensing container from the first position to a second position, creating a second volume within the interior compartment, by pulling the pull string such that the bottom wall is moved along the long axis of the dispensing container;
• the second volume being larger than the first volume;
• manually disposing a quantity of the coloring agent into the open interior compartment of the dispensing container;
• agitating the contents of the interior compartment of the dispensing container until the contents are mixed and the sealant base solution approximates a final custom color;
• introducing a quantity of the sealant thickener from the supplemental container to the interior compartment of the dispensing container;
• agitating the contents of the interior compartment of the dispensing container until the contents are mixed and thickened;
• and
• operatively coupling the first end portion of the nozzle with the first open end portion of the dispensing container.
