Substrates must be clean, dry, solid, compact, free from cracks or fissures, sufficiently cured and free from rising damp. It is recommended that you carry out a preliminary clean using a vacuum cleaner fitted with a nozzle of suitable size. The diameter of the Litogap backer rod must be a few millimetres greater than the width of the joint. The Litogap backer rod, of the appropriate diameter, is inserted into the joint by applying light pressure to the required depth (normally flush with the surface of the substrate). The joint is then filled with the appropriate elastomeric sealant from the...
