Repairing concrete driveway expansion joints

Jul 11, 2005 0 Replies

Hi. What's the best way to repair the expansion joints in a concrete driveway, where the fiber board has deteriorated ? I was thinking of using backer rods and regular or roofing caulk in a tube.



Is the black roofing caulk any better than the stuff in the concrete section of the store ?



Is sand an alternative to the backer rods ? I have about 10 joints to fill, and sand would be a lot cheaper.



I thought about using the expanding insulating foam. It says it is for interior & exterior use, but I wonder how it would hold up in a driveway application.



Thanks for the input.
