Sonneborn NP1
Gun Grade Caulking
Available in 10.3 oz Cartridges
|
Sonneborn NP1 Polyurethane Sealant
is a one-component high-performance gun-grade moisture-curing polyurethane sealant
designed for a wide range of sealing and caulking applications in active exterior joints.
With 800% elongation, 350 psi tensile and +/- 25% joint movement capability, NP-1 handles
most every exterior application. NP 1™ requires no mixing and typically bonds to many
materials without a primer, including concrete and masonry. Dries with a smooth finish and
is paintable.
Gun Grade caulking is much thicker than Self Leveling, and
requires troweling to smooth it out. Use Gun Grade for vertical or uneven expansion joints. |

Use foam Backer Rod to fill in the expansion joint below the
caulking. Buy the size that is slightly larger than the width of your expansion joint. If
the joint has uneven widths, use a razor knife to slice the backer rod into smaller
widths, or buy more than one size backer rod. |

 SWIMMING POOL CAULKING |
 |
Insert the backer rod to a depth of 1/4" into a clean,
dry expansion joint. It is important that you remove all debris or sand first. The
expansion joint should be "True", that is, extend between the deck and the
coping stone, all the way to the earth. |
 |
If the joint is very uneven in width, you can slice the
backer rod with a razor knife to fill in the gaps, or buy more than one size of backer
rod. The rod must fit tightly, as shown in the diagram. Self leveling caulk can be very
runny, especially on a warm day, and you will lose a great deal of caulk that will run
down into the joint. If you have a new pool, and there is a strip of rough, white foam,
about 3/8" wide, already in the joint, this can either be cut down 1/2" with a
razor knife, or burned down with a small gas torch, or just pushed down a bit into the
joint, before adding your backer rod. |
 |
Begin with a dry joint, and make sure there is no rain
forecast for the day. Insert your tubes into the caulking gun, snip the tip, and
puncture the inner seal. Self leveling caulk will come out very quickly. Keep a towel or
sheet of cardboard moving with you around the pool deck.
If your deck and coping are
uneven, fill the joint up to just below the lower level. Runs onto the deck or stone can
be wiped up quickly with a small towel. If the edges are very uneven, tape one or both
sides of the joint with 2" wide masking tape before you begin to caulk your pool. |
