I used the tape on my pressure treated southern pine joists. I used a few staples to keep the tape down for those boards in which the tape was having difficulty staying adhered to.
Have you gone back to service a deck after 10+ years that's had this installed vs 1 that hasn't? Seems like this would trap moisture inside the wood and make it rot, or water would pool up around the fasteners and rust them out...
I just replaced my deck with a larger composite deck . The deck was 25+ years old and all the wood under the decking and even decking was solid as new . No rot at all I live in the suburbs of nyc but maybe wetter climate the pacific north west the tape maybe needed there.
I need to build a 10x14 deck over our patio. It’s for an upstairs apartment. Can you give me some info on what materials I should use and any other information you want to throw my way? Thank you.
Have you tried the liquid flashing products ? I dunno cost of that comparison to your tape it is all pricey but I agree you have to put down something. Speak about the liquid flashing products ? The life of the tape seems questionable. For example regular duct tape last just a few months before deteriorating these flashing tapes have no history yet they have only just come out on the market
Great idea but none of those tapes stick to green PT pine. Lumber is always very wet due to chemicals infused. Unless one buys PT kiln dryed it wont stick. And kiln dryed PT lumber is quite expensive. 🤷♂️
I use a primer on the wet wood the primer makes a huge difference to the adhesive abilities. The primer goes on the day before it takes several hours to dry enough to make it tacky. 5 gals of primer is $70 I just happen to use the Nadura primer only because i had it on hand. With no primer the peel n stick just falls off.
@ I checked it out. Nudura is a polymer based type of primer and it is specifically meant for peel&stick tape. Quite similar to shower waterproofing liquid membranes. I will look into it if it is available in the US. 👍

That’s a good idea to keep it in place 👍🏼

@@bigdave5946 Nice, yeah there's so many factors that could affect the outcome from 1 place to another.

My tape is UV stable

I would think that as long as it sticks until you get the decking in place, then you're good. The board will then keep it in place.

Try using a hammer tacker
@@Islandwaterjettry rubbing alcohol as well
Fastenmaster has a new joist coating that you roll on with a mini roller, a lot faster and less waste.
The jury is still out
@@drdecks I have used Henry's roof coatings in the past with good results(always ground level decks).
