Re: [MBZ] sheet metal glue
I wondered. I just installed a tubular skylight a couple weekends ago, and used quite a bit of the stuff after screwing all the pieces of the ‘tube” together. Since it’s in an uninsulated space (attic) anywhere there’s an opening is a spot where dirt, dust, bugs or other stuff could get in. And yes, since I was handling sheet metal, I definitely was wearing gloves. -D > On Apr 13, 2020, at 4:48 PM, G Mann via Mercedes > wrote: > > It is aluminum, but must be coated with something because it doesn't > corrode like bare aluminum would. > I always wear gloves when I'm smoothing it after application.. it will give > a nasty cut if you catch an edge or corner... but, still amazing stuff > > On Mon, Apr 13, 2020 at 9:24 AM Dan Penoff via Mercedes < > mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > >> I love that stuff.

Re: [MBZ] sheet metal glue
I used self-tapping screws, metal to metal. Cover the screw head and the overlap joint with the proper tape. Paint over the tape, overpaint at least an inch onto the metal, with mastic. Tape on the inside is not needed. Airtight is the goal, must use duct-rated materials. Youtube for a video if needed. This is non-skilled labor, except the metal cutting part, that requires some skill. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Apr 13, 2020 at 11:28 AM Curt Raymond wrote: > Wouldn't you want the tape or mastic on the inside of the joint?
