Question
Hi, Mr. Cummings,
Is the expansive grout something I could find at a local hardware store? Is it something I could find at a specific type of store? (I live in Louisville, KY). Thank you.
I doubt you can find this specialty material at ordinary retail stores. The yhave trade names like damite, dexpan, bristar, CS Kim capsule, FractAG. Here is one link that gives a little more information. http://rebar.ecn.purdue.edu/ect/Civil/soundche.aspx
You might start with Daigh Chemical. http://www.daighcompany.com/ourPeople.asp
