Sill plate sealing

Daox · 10-12-11, 07:30 AM

My home, being as old as it is is just wood on a field stone basement. So, I would love to seal the sill plate as I know its a major source of air leakage. I believe I've seen a few videos and/or write ups that say to use acoustic sealant for sealing the sill plate. I went to the store the other day in search of said product and apparently I'm not familiar with the actual name this goes by because I could not find it. Any tips here, or should I just use caulk (what kind?) and/or spray foam (picked up a great stuff gun, woohoo)?
