Liquid vs. Tape Flashing for Sliding Door
I’m installing some sliding doors on a house with cedar siding and tar paper house wrap. I expect the tar paper will be somewhat damaged when I remove the trim.
I’m trying to decide what to have on hand for the install. I’m in a small town in Canada so I will have to special order almost anything. One option is to use Prosoco R-Guard Fast Flash. The other option is to use flashing membrane tape such as DuPont FlexWrap and/or Henry Blueskin Butyl Flashing tape.
I’d prefer to work with a flashing tape because then I don’t need to wait for the liquid flashing to cure. Will I have a hard time getting flashing tape to stick to the tar paper house wrap?
