Hi Gibbon,
Yes, I was talking about taping the edges before assembly (to prevent moop).
Tyvec tape is heat tolerant but I don't think it would work for structural
joints.
For the structural parts (all the remaining taping), I used two rolls of the 6"
bifil tape from GoodBuyGuys. Two rolls was plenty.

Scott,
Are you in Texas? Did you mean the taping of the edges of each panel before
assembly, or the structural tape? I am curious about how heat affects that
Tyvek
tape if used for structural joints.
