What it concludes

Skipping the prep work and applying sealant directly into a crack leads to sealant sinking and failing within the first year.
Using a backer rod that is slightly larger than the crack width ensures it holds tight and prevents sealant from floating to the top.
Tremco 45 SSL is a flexible sealant that works well on horizontal surfaces and slight slopes and bonds securely to concrete over time.
