Sealing

(used where a sealed bond is
essential, for example where one
sheet of vapour barrier must be
sealed to anothér)

* Seal plumbing holes in walls,
especially under sinks and
behind bathtubs.

+ Preparing to paint is an ideal
time to seal air leaks. Remove
trim or baseboards and seal the
wall behind. Best Of all, expose
the window and door framing
and seal any cracks or holes.

* Seal joint is ductwork with duct
tape or heat-resistant caulking.
