Default sealing A/C ducts & boots by registers

1. It may be easier to use caulk if you are sealing small cracks.
2. Instead of applying the mastic to a gloved hand, try a cheap paint brush.
It's better than snagging your hand on a sheet metal meat hook.
3. Make sure you seal the return system.

am looking to take off all registers inside house and use mastic to seal
all the boots. is it as simple a job as just covering hand with latex
glove and smearing a generous amount into the area where the boot meets
the sheetmetal duct?

any info or corrections are appreciated. home depot sells the mastic so I
know at least where to get it
