Keep in mind that test had the tape out in the open, full UV exposure for that entire time. Most house-wraps and sealing tapes don't fare that well for that long. Realistically, if you tape up your joints, using an appropriate tape, then sheath the house in relatively short order, you shouldn't have peeling issues. Using Duct-tape (Duck Tape) isn't really recommended. Just like it's actually a BAD sealant for ducts. Mainly because the adhesive isn't really meant to hold, long term under positive pressure with variable humidities. So, after a while the adhesive just dries out, and the surface starts cracking and flaking off. And, yeah, ignore my suggestion of Zip Tape. Doing a bit more research and it really is only meant for taping seams out in Zip products. |
