APPLYING BACKER ROD:
1. Joint fillers have three major functions:
-
Controls depth of the
sealant in proper
relation to joint width
-
Provides backing against
which the sealant
is applied, forcing the sealant to the sides of the
joint
-
Prevents 3-sided
bonding, ensuring proper
function of sealant
2. To install, compress backer-rod into the joint
before sealants are applied. Joint or opening should be clean and dry and free
of obstructions. Install backer-rod using a blunt probe or a plain faced
roller to force the rod to the desired depth.
3. Compress to a depth
of about 1/2 of the width measured at the crown of the backer rod.
.
4. A template or roller gauge may be used to
control the depth at which the rod is placed.
5. Don't stretch,
puncture or tear backer-rod during installation
but gently force into the joint so that the backer-rod
fits tight against the sides of the joint.
PRIMING:
1. Follow suggestions for joint-sealant application
as directed by sealant manufacturer.
2. Where priming of the joint is necessary, primer
should be applied only to the joint surfaces and
allowed to dry before Backer-Rod is placed. DO
NOT prime Backer-Rod
