Continuous Rubber Seal

I am having trouble finding what this is that is specified on page 88 in Figure 5.2 in Rod's book. It is also mentioned on page 91 Figure 5.3, accept it looks like it goes between the 5/4 stock window frame and 2x6 as well. Any help here would be appreciated.

THey bang on about the seal quite a bit here. It's a GM trunk seal. Do a search on the forum.

This is an old thread, but I am looking for an answer to the same question. I don't think trunk rubber is used here. It looks like and appears to need to be a flat sheet of some sort. Would sheetblock (I have plenty of scraps around here) or something similar work or would that be too dense and provide a flanking path? Scott

I got so involved in other things, I gave up on this for now and searching for the answer was exhausting. Since I didn't get my glass yet, I framed my window and sheetrocked some scraps over it for now. Anyone know where the old thread is? Thanks in advance.

? ?are you just talking about Glazing tape?

No. Its not the glazing tape I'm talking about In the book: page 91 Figure 5.3 Isolated frame double glazed splayed window It points to the fiberglass and says "RIGID FIBERGLASS OVER CONTINUOUS RUBBER SEAL". Where can we get this rubber seal and what does it do? Thanks.....

:mrgreen: Sorry i don't have the book in front of me. Have you PM'd Rod

Here's what Rod had to say: The rubber seal I use is Water and Ice dam = it is used on the bottom of shingle roofs before the application of shingels -and is meant to protect the structure in the event that ice daming at the eaves occurs. what this does in the application of the window is to create a seal of the window cavity from the interior of the wall cavity - which will help to stop the formation and migration of dust within the window cavity. Any rubber strips will do - however I like this product because one side of it has an afhesive applied to it - so it comes prepared to make a perfect seal without the use of any fasteners. I hope this helped/ Rod

Specific to the ice and water shield, this product [linked] is what is being mentioned. http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=p ... lpage=none I'll get some better more stable links as the day goes on: Bakor BlueSkin self adhesive roof underlayment Poly Guard - Deck Guard That should give a good idea and hopefully the links will stay current for a few years.
