GRACE TV718294 9"x75' Vycor Flashing

I bought this on Amazon for my ChoiceDek faux wood deck project after watching a lot of videos on how to keep water out of the stud joints after they were screwed down. Because it is extremely difficult to remove without ripping small pieces of it, I recommend installing it only after you are certain it is in the correct location. It's only necessary if your deck is subjected to a particularly wet environment. To keep the deck from drying out, make sure to use Pressure Treated lumber. For decades to come, the carcass will be rotting. Also, if you install it when the sun is shining, it may not stick as well as it did in my case. Overall, I gave it a five-star rating because it was relatively simple to set up and, thus far, it has performed as expected.

This was used at the bottom of a concrete slab garage that I built on my own. I cut it with a pair of scissors because it has nice dotted lines every 24 inches. I also purchased a seam roller to ensure that the material was in contact with the roller. It's light enough that it won't get in the way of any siding I intend to put up. I'm sure water won't be able to pass through this. I ordered the 9-inch width, and if it sticks to itself while being handled, it'll be a disaster. The bottom of a 48-inch piece curved in and stuck to itself as I worked on it. Trying to unstick it was like something out of a Three Stooges episode. I'd get one part unstuck, then two more would get stuck. After it turned into a tangled mass of rubberized asphalt, I had to throw it away. It's easy to work with, sticky, black, and cuts easily.

Great product. It is extremely warm and humid (80% is a low day) and this stuff sticks well to the lumber and galvanized metal flashing on my conventional foundation. I haven't tried installing on OSB yet, but I will be doing so soon. It is said by some reviewers that it does not adhere well. I used a roller press, which has proven to be effective. Using only hand pressure, it will come off the intended surface. However, if you try to remove it by roller pressing it, it will tear up. br>For splitting the backing, the small wire is extremely useful. You'll need a utility knife to get to it so you can pull it apart and split the backing. Patience is a virtue that is hard to come by these days.

The edges of the first roll rolled up when dragging a top board across the already applied tape on a joist, so I returned it and cut it into 1. It was used on deck joists in 5-inch widths. As long as I don't drag the deck boards across it, it appears to be working well. With the deck screws, it forms a tight seal. Simply remove a screw to reveal the entire amount of tar on it. Great.

Some will be less sticky than others, but you can keep it tacky with a heat gun. I'd cut my strips ahead of time and keep them coiled in a cardboard box, then heat the box with a heat gun and pull them out as I wrapped my windows. Simply keep the gun moving; they will melt quickly when exposed to direct heat.

Vycor regular is preferable to Vycor Plus in my opinion. Vycor regular adheres to pressure-treated wood far better than Vycor Plus. This is what I used on the header boards of the redwood deck I built last September. Last year, I built another redwood deck, this time using Vycor regular instead of Vycor Plus, and it adhered to the wood much better. This stuff doesn't stick as well as it used to, especially if the surface isn't completely clean.

Vycor is a fantastic product, but the rolls I used only seemed to have "semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-semi-sec I was replacing all of the windows on a house that was sheathed in T1-coated aluminum siding. 11 and weatherproofed the window openings with this Vycor product, which worked even after vacuuming and scrubbing the T1- The Vycor peeled up around the edges in a number of places after being installed (and letting it dry thoroughly) and adhered/smoothed with a 2" steel roller. br>br>I like Vycor, but I can't say I "love" it for the price and performance level.

I used this to cover the beams on the deck I was building, and it worked perfectly. This stuff is super sticky and keeps moisture out, so I'm hoping it will help extend the life of my deck.
