Hello all,
I am in the process of air-sealing my garage.
Foundation to sill plate (concrete to 15-year old pressure treated)
Sill plate to bottom plate (pressure treated to pressure treated)
Interior perimeter of widows & door over foam backer rod. (wood to wood)
I am buying NP1 from Metro Sealant
I read Matt Risinger’s comment to always use primer for tape, do you think a primer is needed in any of these locations for a poly caulking? If so, what primers are recommended?
I did read that on the concrete location, just wire brush it, vacuum, and you are good to go, others say nothing needed, just a swept surface…
Thank you

Disregard, both Masterseal & Metro sealants said I absolutely do not need a primer at those locations as long as it's all clean...
