Backer Rod is a closed cell, resilient, polyethylene backer rod used as a backup material for construction joints and applications that require sealants. It performs as a depth control for most known cold applied sealants. Sealants will not adhere to it; no bond breaker is required. Composition and Materials: Our Backer Rod is a round, resilient, extruded closed cell polyethylene backer rod with a water resistant outer skin. It is compatible with most known cold applied sealants such as urethane, silicone, acrylic, butyl, polysulfides, latex, and chinking sealants. Specific Uses Include: Expansion joints Highway joints Glazing Log home chinking Parking Decks Curtain Walls Coping joints Isolation joints Temporary joint seal Limitations: Backer Rod should be installed with a roller or blunt, flat-sided tool. Please follow sealant manufacturer specifications for recommended sealant width and depth ratio. For best results, do not puncture, fold or overly stretch the product. The product is made with a water-resistant outer skin, therefore where moisture resistance is important, care should be taken not to puncture this outer surface skin. Installation: Joint or opening must be free of all contaminants, loose materials, dry and free of frost. Select correct rod size for joint width. With a blunt instrument or roller, seat Backer Rod to depth recommended by sealant manufacturer. Technical Data: Backer Rod is chemically inert and will resist gasoline, oil, and most solvents. Product will not stain or adhere to sealants.

Not too squishy

I thought that the foam would easily compress into an uneven exposed aggregate joint. Umm, nope. Some of the box store brands are fairly flimsy and compresss to almost nothing, but not this. So it will get used around doors and windows on new construction projects, or used for hook and leaders for my tackle box. But I have a lifetime supply for sure.

1001 uses!

I used for driveway concrete joints/large gaps prior to caulking them. Cheap solution to reduce the amount of expensive caulk.

Taxidermy use

My husband is a taxidermist and uses this product for bird necks. It's wonderful to buy in bulk for him to keep at the shop.

Do the math on how much you really need. I didnt.

1st off...I brought too much for what I thought. But i have found other uses for it. I cut them in half and use them for small gaps around my A/C...any places i feel cold entering i cut to fit gaps. I just wish I could send back (1) roll...past return time limit. I also use them to seal up most of my woodworking tools.

Crafting Use

This backer rod made great “beehive” pedestals for decorations for a state Eastern Star convention! I can’t wait to see what I’ll use the leftover for.

Great Product, Matches Description

We ordered this product to be used on the renovation of my parents log house in rural Indiana. The product arrived in a timely manner, and proved to work well for placing in between the logs of the house where natural spacing occurred. If we ever needed to order a similar product, which thankfully we do not, we would gladly use this product and company again. Thank you.

Easy to manage, easy to install

The product is easily set between spaces in log home unsealed for 19 years. My energy audit indicates the air changes in this Canadian border house 8 times a day and to be efficient it needs to be sealed and air exchanges for saving heat loss need to be less than 3, so this is recommended, appears and feels like the right stuff and next winter will tell

Backer rod did what it is supposed to do

The skin of the backer rod is just the right texture. It pushes in easily and stays in place. No slippage. Limited stretching.

good value, product as described, arrived quickly

We have a large number of joints in concrete to seal, this will be used beneath the sealant to prevent bleed through. Arrived quickly. Great price per foot compared to what's available at home improvement stores

Good quality foam.

Using this 1.0 diameter foam for 3/4” spacing has save use a lot of epoxy.
