I'm looking to seal the expansion joints in my garage. I want to use Sikaflex Self-Leveling Sealant but read it was very thin hence the self leveling. My garage is pitched quite a bit and was wondering if this product will run down the joint an pool up at the other end of the garage floor causing a major problem? If so does anyone know of a product I can use? BTW I plan on filling most of the expansion joints with the rope product first.

Sikaflex?

It is somewhat thin and will definitely self level. Best is to buy it and try a little to see how far/fast it goes. You could to it in stages/layers if that's the product you really want.
I've used it and the stuff works well. Had to do in stages/layers also due to pitch.

Visit Sika's web site. They have a bunch of different sealants, most of which are non-sag and will be more appropriate.

Most pros use NP1 or similar variants. Self leveling is quite runny. Depends on the joint I suppose
If you have any degree of pitch in your driveway, I would not recommend using the Sikaflex Self Leveling Sealant. It is extremely flowable and will definitely pool, causing an inconvenience. A better option is Sikaflex Construction Sealant limestone color or Sikaflex Mortar Fix, if you want a sealant with more of a texture.

This is for a garage floor that has already been epoxied.
I tell my customers to tape both sides of the joint with painters tape, and put in some clear silicone. Smooth it out with a putty knife, and lift the tape.
