   I'd probably use sheathing tape, but it's a bitch to work with.  Don't use Red Green style duct tape.

   (Wait!!  They use insulation in Los Angeles??  R30???)

   Not clear why you'd worry about taping the facing -- you don't need a vapor barrier.

   I'm still trying to understand the tape the seams of what I assume as batt you mean fibreglass batts?

   Also assume the batts are faced.  I understand taping rips tears or punctures in faced fibreglass......but never heard of seams being taped.  But then again, I've used 8'batts that were faced-but the only 4'batts (unfaced) were used in commercial drop ceilings.

   thanks.

   When in doubt, call the inspector and ask.
