  • Can also be used to separate timber jack studs or bearers from concrete or timber piles.
  • Supercourse 500 can be used as a concealed flashing in masonry veneer walls.

General

  • Unaffected by LOSP or other solvent-based treated timber. However, LOSP or other solvent-based treated timber must have sufficient time for the solvent chemicals to flash off in a well-ventilated area. Recommended minimum 7 days.
