Everbuild Foam Sealant Joint Backer Rod 10mm x 10 Metre

Product Information

Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in Method Statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions. When installing backer rod, it is important to carefully measure and cut the rod to the correct length for the joint. I’ve also started to use spare parts of these foam strips for other DIY repair jobs where two part wood filled had to be supported from the inside of a half-rotten wooden door.

Without tooling, the bond area between the sealant and the sides of the joint may not be sufficient to prevent the sealant from pulling away from the sides of the joint. The open-cell backer rods are used as non-adhesive backfilling in construction joints and to ensure correct joint dimensions for sealants. Backer Rod is an integral component of sealant joints, it provides three main functions that allow the sealant joint to perform.

Backer-rod is an extruded closed cell expanded polyethylene cord which is CFC and HCFC free and does not absorb moisture.

On one occasion we used it to stop wood filler from falling through and have since used it by itself to fill gaps. Its a great product if you want to minimise the level of ragged or untidy gap finishes in your DIY project. Fantastic Company with just about possible colour Sealant you could ever want and a really wide range of products available. Place the oversized backer rod into the joint and push with a blunt tool to tightly fit against the joint sides at the required depth. This allows the sealant to maintain its flexibility and stability over time, avoiding cracking or breaking under pressure.CRL Closed Cell Backer Rod is a round, flexible, closed cell polyethylene foam with an exterior "skin" used as a backing and thickness control device for elastomeric and other cold-applied sealants. There is half an inch gap between the tub and the wall and there is also the gap between the tile and the tub. This still applies for deliveries out of our local area but please note that we use independent carriers so be aware that there may be external factors which we cannot control (e. setting the correct depth of sealant is a very important part of the sealant process if this is set incorrectly the joints may fail.

The Backer rod limits the depth of the sealant, thereby preventing excessive use of the sealant, which promotes proper joint design. To install the rod, you can use your fingers or a smooth rounded ended tool to push it into the gap, leaving the finished surface approximately 5-mm back from the front edge of the face of the gap, to allow the silicone to adhere to both the rod and the two edges of the structure it has been injected into. Everbuild Fix and Fill Foam is a one-part polyurethane foam in an aerosol form that is quick-setting. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The primary purpose of backer rod is to control the depth of the sealant and prevent it from bonding too deeply into the joint.Bond-It De-Bond Mate is A non-drip gel formula for the complete removal of cured silicone sealant, particularly when silicone has been accidentally smeared over glass, ceramics or countertops. I am re-doing the silicone on my bathtub and upon removing the silicone, I have seen cracked or missing grout/filler behind the area where the silicone used to be.
