Total total noob here - new to the site, and new to renovations. Right now we are not renovating so much as we are chasing problems. Today's problem is HVAC. There are leaks we have to deal with that make Daox's look dainty. One gap in particular - where there's a penny inserted in the photos here, we could shove a 2x2 in ours.
Lots of taping to do.
Years ago, I found an article on tapes and sealants that concluded that the absolute worst tape for taping ducts...is duct tape. I found the article again, here (I can't post links yet, sorry):
I am wondering if there are new appraches or standards to consider. The article is now 12 years old... green approaches preferred, but right now, filling the big gaps IS pretty green, almost regardless of how we do it.
