Sealing air ducts
I gotta do this soon. We just started having to fire up the furnace this week as temps outside haven't gotten any higher than low 60s. I don't think its too bad as is, but it still needs to be done. I know a few of you have done this. Any recommendation on how to do it, or what materials to use?

I just got a roll of that aluminum duct tape and went to town with it. It's not perfect, but it works well enough.
I used the real metal stuff, not the famous fix-everything stuff. |
Technically, taping ducts is about the only thing you CAN"T do with duct tape.
Yes, that aluminum tape is more expensive, but it's the right thing to use. |
Anyone use duct mastic? I have some odd bends and the inside of a right angle to seal. This sounds like it would work better for it?

I've seen them wrapped in aluminum tape at the joints..then with a foam insulation to hold in the radiant heat.
