Are you asking about filling the expansion joint between the coping and deck?
A flexible mastic should be used to fill expansion joints like Deck-O-Seal or Sikaflex 1A.

Still have to take a blowtorch to make it set I assume? I guess that works, assuming the deck or coping isn’t painted.

If it is not flexible then it is the wrong product for an expansion joint.
It says it’s elastomeric, so assumed it was flexible. Still not sure I’d use it near concrete as I’ve had air pockets in concrete explode when touched with a blowtorch. Not really worth the risk IMO if there are other products that work as well.
Yes, it does. I didn't say it was the right product in this application. Just correcting the person who says it's only for asphalt. Where this product is used is in expansion joints of a driveway. I did a lot of research on different products for that use. I ended up with self-leveling joint sealant as the preferred product for the driveway.
