Bro - excellent video! Subscribed! Huber will need to sell 5-gallon buckets of Liqui-Flash to support you! :-) It would be awesome to see you do a house with standard OSB or plywood and then spray the whole house with Polywall. What is the material / labor difference between the two? It would make a great video!

The Liquid Flash is a better product overall over the tape. It may cost more, but it's more universal compared to purchasing different products for different sections of the build!👍🏽🙏🏽

Looks great! Good to know the cost difference doing a whole house that way

Excellent information Doug. I appreciate the cost comparison. One other benefit of LF over tape is the robust adhesion even if the sheathing isn't perfectly dry or dust free (though it should be clean and dry before application). Tape is more finicky of damp or dusty sheathing.

Good info, thank you for sharing!

Do you have any videos or advice on exterior wall framing, double wall versus staggered studs with 2x8 plates?
-
Liquid flash works great on inside corners. Much quicker than tape. Just use an inside corner drywall knife to spread like mud.

Great stuff Doug but let’s be real liquid flash doesn’t provide a remotely adequate gap behind siding maybe you can get away with in texas and southwest but for 80 per cent of the country it won’t provide the gap you need to be secure in back drying potential

I'm going this route for my house with a Scott True rafter tail detail. I appreciate the cost breakdown as that's been hard to find. It looks like you applied painters tape on either side of your joints. Was that labor and material cost part of your calculations?
-
for gen pop type areas (the field) i think tape makes the most sense. but as doug said at around 3:00 there is certainly areas where liquid flash is a winner. Doug- where you mention the window application, are you using liquid flash in place of caulk or in addition to? thanks.

Not sure I understood the price difference. Are you saying is 4x more the cost of the tape or the entire sheeting insulation cost 4 times more? Installer charges more? Would you recommend this in Houston weather? Will foam be money wasted if going this route? About to start building my first home! Thanks in advance

Tape ain't monolithic. Monolithic is everything. Liquid, liquid, liquid.

How the heck are your lines so straight with the liquid flash?
-
What about all the holes from nails when siding?
