Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For joints too wide for standard roll backer rod, this 2-1/2 in. cut length fills the gap without splicing multiple smaller rods. Butt pieces snugly end to end so sealant cannot leak through gaps. Check joint depth so the sealant ends up at the manufacturer's recommended width-to-depth ratio.
Wear gloves and eye protection when handling and trimming the rod, and follow the sealant manufacturer's application and safety directions.
Order Nomaco SOF Backer Rod Cut Lengths to fill wide expansion joints the right way.
