FEATURES/BENEFITS

INSTALLATION
Joint or opening must be clean,
dry and free of obstructions. Select the proper rod diameter and cut to
length or use directly from the spool. With a blunt instrument or roller,
uniformly install rod at a level recommended by the sealant manufacturer, specifier
or architect. Generally, the depth of the joint after KOOL-ROD is installed
should be half the width. Very large and very small joints vary in terms
of this depth-to-width ratio.
Do not tear, puncture, twist or overly compress the backer rod during installation. Caution should be used to avoid any situation where voids may form and trap air/moisture between backer rod and sealant. Care should also be taken to prevent the introduction of air bubbles into the sealant during mixing (if any) and/or installation.
