with cloth tape (FIGURE 1).

self-adhering tape that are 6" wide and 12" taller

than the door (FIGURE 2). Start at either the top or

bottom, about 6" above or below the door. Apply

tape close to the door side frame and work to

cover the entire nailing

fin, including the installation holes, the joint

between the fin and the building’s sheathing and

extend at least one additional inch out onto the

exterior wall. Use a rubber roller to get good

contact with the substrate.
