I would like to flash the top of the PT joists on an exterior deck and see that vicor flashing tape is frequently used. Trex states its escapes (PVC) decking can be permanently stained by rubber items such as hoses and mats. Any issues with using the two products together? (It would after all be on the underside). Any issues with heat melting the vicor tape? The Pacific Northwest does get into the 90’s sometimes – yes it’s rare but it does happen. Any preference between the vicor deck protector and their other products? Trex and Vicor haven’t responded so your input is appreciated. Thanks.
