Ask Foreman

Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Applying mastic sealant unevenly or missing interior joints entirely. What’s the approved correction for this job?

Do not

Do not hide, force, cover, or “make it work” if this affects safety, access, airflow, rated assemblies, supports, equipment, or inspection. Stop and verify the approved correction.
