   *As far as I know, vapor barriers don't need to be taped, only infiltration(air barriers). Just overlap the seams. But if this doesn't fly with you, to answer your question, a lot of guys use housewrap tape which you can buy at Home Depot or Menards in the insulation department. Good luck.

   *Dear Rob,Regular poly doesn't tape together well at all. The last time I used it, we laid a fat bead of butyl caulk between the laps.Now I use Tu-Tuf (see efi.org) for ground cover. It seals very well with Tyvek tape and others like it.Regards, Fred

   *Hi,Expanding polyurethane foam from a can, such as "Great Stuff", works well to seal the sheets together at overlaps and to anchor the barrier to the walls of the foundation above the footings.ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!Mike O'HandleyBungalow Rescue, Seattle
