How It Compares to the Other Two We Sell
We carry three products that go into concrete joints and they are not interchangeable. Slab is the mid weight option: genuinely movement rated, the widest joint capacity at two inches, and water clean up. Sikaflex Self Leveling is the heavy duty choice, carrying a full ASTM C920 Class 25 elastomeric rating, but it is limited to one and a half inches wide and it only works on horizontal joints. Liquid Nails CR-805 is capped at half an inch. Slab is not self levelling, so for a poured horizontal control joint the Sikaflex is the correct product.
Where Sashco Says Not to Use It
- Not for submersion.
- Not on driving surfaces until fully cured. Lay plywood over it if you must drive across.
- It will not stick to silicone, waxes, polypropylene, polyethylene or Kynar. Old silicone and every trace of its residue must come out first with a silicone remover.
- It is not self levelling, so it needs tooling and will not flow flat on its own.
- Expect a concave finish. Natural shrinkage dishes the joint, and a second pass may be needed to fill flush.
Curing and Weather
- Allow one to three days of cure before direct rainfall. If rain arrives sooner, cover it with plastic sheeting with airflow underneath.
- Paintable after four hours with exterior paint, one to two days interior, and a week before oil based paints.
- Cool temperatures and high humidity both slow the cure down.
