Open Cell Foam Backer Rod

Open cell backer rod is unique; it can easily compress and return to its original state due to unrestricted air movement. This flexibility makes it easily conform to sealing applications and helps limit the depth of the sealant while also adding good sealant airing, which can reduce drying or set up time. FillPro Open Cell is a highly conformable “spool-less” backer rod available in bags.
