You are exactly right. Before all of this flashing tape came out, we
would
cut 30# felt into 12" strips and tack around the window. Our procedure
was
felt paper on the sheathing, moist stop on the sill, bead of caulk on the
back of the nailing fin, window installed, nail through every hole in nail
fin with 2" roofing nails, strip of 30# felt tacked across the bottom,
strip
tacked up each side (overlapping bottom piece), strip tacked across top
(with sheathing felt rolled back down over the top piece. Now, we use the
flashing tape and tyvek in lieu of the felt paper. I actually prefer the
felt, but the flashing tape won't stick to it worth a damn.
An unfortunate common misconception is that the nailing fin is flashing.
What robson described, though practiced daily by most framers, is grossly
incorrect.

Just my .02

Steven,

The (I may mis spell this) Protecowrap product will stick to the felt just
fine. Place it and roll with a J-roller. It seems like it isn't sticking.
Two days of sunshine and you can not remove it.

OTH, it does not seem to stick quite as well to the Tyverk product. It does
but not as well.
