I'm replacing my siding and find lots of gaps in the fiberglass inulation

better seal them and add little insulation. Going by R-value, this doesn't
add much (1/2" R4) but maybe this would protect better against winds etc. I
am installing hardie plank siding. Will this home 'breath' ?
ventilation? Anyone has experience with this type of insulation?

If you are replacing siding then don't even think about breathing
problems. I promise, you have lots of breating going on, even if you
wrap it twice.
