The author’s first experience with using a fluid-applied barrier was the restoration of a 1950s home in central Austin.
The building’s diagonal sheathing had minimal isolated water damage, so restoring it rather than replacing it was prudent. This involved applying liquid applied flashing to the sheathing joints.
The author's first venture into using liquid-applied flashing on a new build: He liked ZipSystem sheathing, but was leery of the tape at first.
On another new build, dubbed "Sunshine" done around the same time as the Holly build, the author used DuPont’s fluid-applied barrier in concert with Zip System sheathing. Zip System was new to the author at the time, and he had more confidence in “finger painting” with fluid-applied than sealing panel seams with tape.
Poor design by the architect for an outdoor roof deck, but if anything will solve this, liquid flashing is a good bet.
No overhangs is another tough design choice from a performance perspective, but the well sealed exterior gives the home a fighting chance to fend of water.
