[QUOTE="LaqueRatt, post: 497857, member: 32586"] Having used backer rod for all sorts of stuff, I want to stress that if there is a void underneath it won't stay in place. I've had to use a TON of that stuff before to fill up some "bottomless" gaps. Sometimes if you can get it stabilized you can put a bunch of caulk on top and that will keep it in place, but really it's the caulk doing the heavy lifting. If you had a mind to once jammed in place you could caulk over the whole thing, but what an ugly mess you're going to end up with. Which if you want to remove later will be a pain in the hiney. I say tape it up and be done. Take you 10 mins and cost you 10 bucks. [/QUOTE]
