Do I really need backer rod?
Yes. Backer rod allows your sealant material to acheive 2-point adhesion which provides your sealant greater elasticity. As your logs move and settle your sealant needs to compensate for this expansion and contraction. Simply put, backer rod helps your sealant perform at its highest level.
