The contoured hand grip accommodates all hand sizes and allows for smooth, full strokes.

Sika Backer Rod, a gray, closed-cell polyethylene foam product, is used to partially fill deep expansion joints and cracks before the application of sealant. This helps prevent 3-sided adhesion while allowing for control over the depth of the sealant. Available in a 3/4-inch diameter and 20-foot length, Sika Backer Rod offers excellent temperature resistance and does not absorb water, making it durable and reliable.

The use of Sika Backer Rod in glazing installations, expansion joints, window and door perimeters, copings, and pavement joints supports the performance of the sealant application. By partially filling deep cracks before the sealant is applied, Sika Backer Rod helps control the sealant depth and prevents 3-sided adhesion, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the sealant. Additionally, the product is resistant to oil and most other solvents, further enhancing its durability and suitability for a wide range of applications.

In summary, the 41002 Cox 29 Oz. Applicator and Sika Backer Rod work together to provide a comprehensive solution for caulking and sealing applications. The applicator's advanced features, such as the 12:1 mechanical advantage, switchable flow control, and built-in ladder hook, ensure operator comfort and efficient use, while the Sika Backer Rod helps to create a reliable and long-lasting sealant application by controlling the depth and preventing 3-sided adhesion.
