Deck-O-Seal Pour Grade is the two-part polysulfide sealant that replaces it. You pour it in, it finds its own level, and it cures to a rubber that moves with the slab instead of cracking away from it. Sold in 96 oz kits in Gray (4701032), Desert Tan (4701033) and Dura-White (4701031).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUse this if\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour joint filler has shrunk or split:\u003c\/strong\u003e The old sealant no longer touches both faces of the joint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe joint is horizontal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pool deck, patio or walkway expansion joints.

The joint has to be clean, dry and free of the old material, dust and laitance for the new sealant to bond. Deck-O-Seal adheres well to bare concrete, but not to whatever is left of the last sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I do this myself, or do I need a contractor?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a realistic weekend job on a residential deck. The parts people get wrong are mixing time and joint depth: mix the two components a full 10 minutes with a slow-speed drill, and use backer rod so the sealant sits between 1\/4\" and 1\/2\" deep. Under-mixing leaves soft spots that never cure and have to be dug back out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat happens if it rains?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it dry for a minimum of 24 hours after pouring. Rain before that will affect the cure. It is tack-free in about 4 hours and firm within 24 hours at 77°F, longer when it is cooler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use this in the joint between the coping and the pool shell, under the water?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Deck-O-Seal Pour Grade cannot be used underwater. W.R. Meadows specifies Deck-O-Seal 125 or Deck-O-Seal Gun Grade for joints at or below the waterline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it stay this colour?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is non-staining and UV-stable — it will not become brittle, chalk or discolour from sun or heat, and pool chemicals do not affect it. Do not paint over it; paint is not recommended on any Deck-O-Seal product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much working time do I get once it is mixed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout one hour at 77°F. The product cannot be resealed and saved, so mix a kit only when you are ready to pour the whole thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it on an asphalt driveway joint?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Deck-O-Seal is not compatible with asphalt and cannot be used in asphalt pavement or against asphalt-impregnated joint filler.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deck-O-Seal","offers":[{"title":"Gray","offer_id":50763492852012,"sku":"4701032","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Desert Tan","offer_id":53979282735404,"sku":"4701033","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dura-White","offer_id":53979282768172,"sku":"4701031","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/1943\/3260\/files\/Deck-O-SealPourGradeJointSealantKitGray96oz4701032SOSPool_2.jpg?v=1743525688","url":"https:\/\/www.sospool.com\/products\/pool-deck-expansion-joint-sealant-deck-o-seal-pour-grade","provider":"SOS Pool \u0026 Spa Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
