Product recommendations for sealing bottom plate to slab

user-7764336 | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

What product would you use to seal the bottom plate to the slab?  I am re-insulating/drywalling the unconditioned attached garage and was thinking on running a thick bead of silicone to seal the joint between the bottom plate and slab.  Something like OSI Quad Elastomeric Siding and door sealant?  Any recommendations?

    I would recommend Polywall 2200 for this task. Or zip liquid flash would also work well
