For Chinking Joints greater than 1/4 in., a round, flexible, length of extruded polyethylene backer rod (looks like a rope made of foam) is used to create a flat surface backing for the chinking. At the same time also saves on the amount of chinking material used. But most imporant, it acts a bond breaker allowing adhere only to the top and bottom of the logs, not to the backer rod. This allows the chinking to flex not strink, stead of peeling away.

  • Triangular, closed cell backer rod.
  • Comes in 6 ft. lengths
  • Repels moisture.
