Having read all the fine articles FH has on vapour drive and adding exterior insulation the best advice I have is that with heating and air conditioning in climate zone 4 marine my house (with 4 ml poly on the warm side will be dry half the year. And be careful when addressing vapour drive over the long term. So my question is, when I add my exterior insulation do I take the opportunity to remove the existing 4 ml poly or am I at risk over the long term. For more house details, see my Forum post of February 6 2025. Thanks.
