Selected User Reviews For M-D Building Products 71552 Backer Rod
A pressure washer was used to clean the joint, followed by a leaf blower for the final clean. I found this backer rod to be perfect for my project. About a 1/2" of its depth below the concrete surface can be pressed in by hand. Pressing it in is easiest with your fingers. Retracting the blade makes a nice even depth, as does a box knife. In order to have a clean appearance on either side of the gap, tape was used on each side. There were five 10 oz cartridges of Sikaflex 1cSL Flexible Self Leveling Polyurethane Concrete Expansion Joint and Crack Sealant used to fill the gap of 1/2" x 1/2" x 35'. As soon as the sealant dries, a cover should be placed over the joint so that debris/leaves don't get into the joint.
I love it! This is what I use to post the ears of my doberman. The job was done by them.
It was used to repair the I was impressed with the results.
Simple to use & easy to configure The box is designed to have an exit point at the top, which is a nice feature.
