Sealants:
Most conventional sealants (silicone or latex) are compatible with the V-Buck II system.  If unsure, test in an inconspicuous area for compatibility.
Sealing Chambers:
Use either duct tape or an expanding foam product to seal top of vertical struts prior to pour.  This will prevent the chamber from filling with concrete or water.  If water gets into chambers, drill weep holes at the bottom of strut.
Bracing For Concrete:
Like any other quality building material used with concrete, brace the V-Buck II block-out system every 18 inches.
When in doubt, it is always better to over-brace.
