Where can I buy foam backer rod for concrete gaps?
In another thread it was recommend that I use foam backer rod and
urethane caulk to fill a gap between my driveway and sidewalk where the felt expansion joint has deteriorated. I went to Lowes, Menards, and Home Depot and they say they don't carry the product. What type of local business should I shop for backer rod? |

My local HD (Tustion, CA) has the foam backer rod and self leveling sealant by SIKA It's stocked w/ cement / masonry stuff If your HD doesn't, you can get the suff online http://brands.hardwarestore.com/269-...rporation.aspx I use the large tube (better value) it needs a LARGE caulking gun backefr rods http://search.hardwarestore.com/exec...backer&x=0&y=0 cheers Bob |

I saw 1/2" and 5/8" in the weatherstripping section, and 3/4" in the
masonry supply section. It was not particularly easy to find, but it was there (Home Depot). |

Thanks to all for the replies. I'll check Home Depot. The gap is
3/4" wide so I was thinking I need to use 1" rod. If the local HD doesn't have 1", then I'll check masonry supply stores and paint supply stores locally. If all else fails, I have seen 1" available at some on-line sites. On 17 Oct 2006 06:37:32 -0700, wrote: I saw 1/2" and 5/8" in the weatherstripping section, and 3/4" in the masonry supply section.
