How do you seal timbre frames?

Hello, really sorry to be a bit ignorant. However, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction with regards sealing two parts of a timbre frame together in order to insulate it properly. . I was wondering what materials people use and how they apply the material in order to gain the best isolation. . Thanks again my very helpful clever studio building friends. Cheers

Caulk!

Sure, thanks. However, in the caulking tutorials, i can not find how to join one wooden frame wall to another wooden frame wall. I was wondering if simply putting a load of sealant like green glue between the two wooden frames before nailing or screwing together would be the right thing to do. Also, I was wondering if you put tape over the outside of the join that joins the two frames together, and if so, what type of tape? is Neoprene suitable or is neoprene really only used as a resilient material to prevent structure transmitted sound. What other types of tape are there. Are there tapes made from similar materials as barrier mat or harder rubber? I wonder...... :roll: :roll:

Don't get too itchy about it... All you have to do is to avoid a possible gap between the frames, and the pass of air. Caulking should do the job since it has a good mass and will seal every possible air gap between the woods Yes, you could first put a nice load of caulk on the side thats going to receive the other frame, then after nailing them, its gonna have a good fit. Then caulk the front gap and you should be fine

nice one, thanks for the advice. Really helps. I was also wondering, after nailing the frame and caulking. Do you put some type of tape over the join? Or will that not be necessary?

Tape is for drywall

Oh, Sure. Thanks again. What type of tape is it. I take it isn't neoprene. thanks

Its a nylon tape used to give drywall joints more strengh

oh. sure. Thanks very much for the help. I appreciate it. I am still in the design stage. However, knowing all the details does help me to design a more professional product. Thanks.

Boss you need to hire this thing out :) Figure your design and let someone familiar with construction do the labor for you. Your trying to learn too much and it is going to burn you out.

Thanks for the advise, however, I have loads of time to research and figure things out. I am not working at the moment, and the build is pretty small. . I also have quite a long time scale to build (build at your own pace). Plus. I really like learning. Sorry if this is a burden to people on the board if I have asked too many questions at the same time. I think I have almost all the info I need, just some finer details. Besides, the info I am searching for will not be common knowledge to the average builder. How many conventional carpenters know how to make a sound proof studio environment? . I have also some help with the build, as my father is pretty handy with these types of things, and a friend of mine's son is training to be a carpenter. :D I will get someone in to do the electrics as not that keen on the crazy hair look. Thanks for the concern though.

Yes sir, that is exactly why I said what I said :0 "How many conventional carpenters know how to make a sound proof studio environment?" Do you know how many years I have in learning how to be a conventional carpenter? Many:) Decades in doing something that only parallels this type of work on small occasion. And at least 7 years in trying to figure out the math / procedures that has to be secured to address this type of construction. It is a complicated experience and I know how to build :) So you asking mundane questions, how to tape sheetrock and drive nails, do you caulk this or not, it's kind of like asking a blue crayon how it got to be blue :) It's not so much that I or anyone else here can not take these types of questions and answer them fluently to a positive end. Would you build your own home?
