Hello Jason:

Much thanks for advice on my T1-11

Do you have any opinions or thoughts regarding the desireability of
caulking, or somehow sealing, the Vertical edges, where they abut the
neighborings panels ?

If so, are they usually caulked (before they are butted, or just the seams
afterwards ?) or just relies

on some paint applied on the edges beforehand ? Or,... ?

Thanks again,



BTW: this stuff used much, now-a-days ? Was somewhat surprised to see that
HD carried it.

Are their different quality levels of ?

Bob

When replacing damaged 4 x 8 foot T1-11 panels with new ones, is it good
practice, or generally done, to caulk
or otherwise seal the 8 foot vertical edges where the abut each other.


if caulking is a good idea, what would you folks recommend ?

how is it done; beforehand, or after up ?

Yes, Z-flashing is for the horizontal joints created by placing a 4x8
sheet on top of another. Not only is this better than caulk alone, it's
also better for appearence. Also, I haven't used T 1-11 in several
years but Z-flashing used to be required at these joints or else you
risk voiding your warranty.
