Good try, but the fiberglass drywall tape is useless. All the mastic is used for is to seal the joint. The air pressure in this duct doesn't come close to warranting the need to seal the snap lock. If it did they are using the wrong product anyway. The end seams of the pipe would normally be sealed with "duct tape" or mastic. No need for both. The wrap itself should've been prepped before attempting to wrap any duct. Such as cutting the fiberglass to reveal a 2" paper tab to staple to lengthwise and horizontally to connect the next piece to with an actual outward clinch stapler. Then foil tape applied and rubbed down with a tape squeege. Foil tape is a pressure sensitive product that has a shelf life. Don't buy any tape older than a year as to you run the risk of it peeling a few days later. Good attempt here but a professional job is more than just looking good. It should last for many years as most home owners or businesses are paying for it to.
I like your thinking but that stapler was a reverse clinch, I have the same one, its blue and all metal. And I might not use the fiber tape but I do seal all the joints, I used to not, only the ends but It does make a difference in leakage tests.
drywall tape, sounds like a better idea! I guess that wont deteriorate and fall off like so called Duct tape, that I noticed is now being called Duck Tape?
Man put some good tape on there don't do all that masking tape it and put some good silver tape on there you don't have to screw it waste of time money is time time is money
Ohh, I thought this was a rap video..I kept waiting for the music to kick in. I thought maybe the rap group was going to kick down the door, rob you than break into some "yo.."
Drywall tape? Why not use what you are suppose to use, and use duct tape? I dont dig what he is doing here. They make a self adhesive duct insulation, Ive got it on my round ductwork. He is rigging the job.
Air Lock 181 is all you need, no masking tape..
Please provide links for the supplies and materials used. Thanks.
Your Insulation isn't supposed to over lap. That pattern is way to big.

The air pressure volume does warrant the need to seal the snap lock
Ha ha ... that was good!
CAn the duct work be ran outside an exterior wall then back inside like that very curious or would more be needed thanks
Good video watched it really qick at work now I know don’t need to tell them I don’t know how now
We cut back a lip on our insulation to not get a tear drop shape. Then staple, then tape, then staple again then mastic the tape. My boss is picky.
What kind of stapler is used here? Thank you
Any stapler works
This guy needs to come to one of my job sites!

Drywall tape is a FAIL, so is Duck Tape. They make aluminum tape that is designed for HVAC ductwork. You can get it at HD or Lowes. I use Nahua brand.
If I did that on the job they would fire me in a minute
Instead of drywall tape and mastic, wouldn't aluminum tape be ok?
I would use tape myself it sticks really good to metal
Don't waste your time on anything other than aluminum tape! That is the best there is!
Man put some good tape on there don't do all that masking tape it and put some good silver tape on there you don't have to screw it waste of time money is time time is money
Can you get this insulation at the local Home Depot/Lowe's?
You can also use the bubble wrap insulation for duct work.
Can you insulate dryer vent pipe to prevent condensation?
why would a dryer vent condensate?
@@johndavidson5564 it blows hot air , and in the winter, when hot meets cold it sweats
Dry wall tape? Why use mastic when you can use duct tape? Taping is much faster and cleaner and probably cheaper.
Duct tape adhesive doesn't last long with the kind of temperature changes that ducting creates. It ends up falling off pretty quickly.
Ohh, I thought this was a rap video..I kept waiting for the music to kick in. I thought maybe the rap group was going to kick down the door, rob you than break into some "yo.."
Those mastic and mesh tape dried out and popped in my ducts. Aluminum foil tape is better.
Are you high? Waste of time and resources using drywall tape it is a unnecessary step

I would get fired for this crap
Poor guy
