Pros

Any item of this manufacturer is top notch! This * easy to use, and did a great job. Easy to install.

The caulk saver is removable and reusable. Works well for preventing caulking from passing thru large crack. Better then caulk and looks nicer.

It's not necessary to leave such a large overhang, but we do so to make it easier to remove and replace the foam strip. Comes in several thickness options - suggest buying 1/2 in plus the 3/8 inch to have options. Stuffs in gaps easily as it is very f...  Read More

Quality


Good quality backer rod that i got on sale


Used this to bridge a gap along the concrete basement floor and wall, followed with the caulk.


I ended up using the trim-a-slab product instead, which was super easy and looks great.


Used as a slip grip for my couch cover as they didn’t send enough with the cover.

Price


Great quality and the price is right!

Packaging/appearance


Cut a chunk off wood glue did the trick to keep it in the cracky crack.


I stuffed the the crack between my porch and the house wall.


Don't want any freezing cold air coming in as the heated air rises, so i stuffed some of this 1/2 inch foam rope into the gap.


The package says "for best results, the caulk saver should be slightly larger in diameter than the width of the joint".

Competitiveness


I've got perfectly alligned tiles in an imperfecty-shaped room.

    Unless the foam slides easily into the gap i would not recommend using a sharp tool to compress it because the foam can puncture or tear


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The next day i noticed both foam pieces were shriveled and stiff and easily pulled right out of the joints retaining the shape of the joint instead of bouncing back to the round shape


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I dont know if it would do the same thing indoors


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I cant downgrade the product for that because it is intended to be covered with caulksealant

    I ended up using the trimaslab product instead which was super easy and looks great
