Question: What tape do you recommend for repairing torn vapor retarder?

John writes from Buffalo, New York: "When installing faced insulation I made a few holes/rips in the vapor barrier. What kind of tape do you recommend to fix the holes?"

Answer: You can use Owens Corning Bild-R-Tape® construction tape or any other good construction tape. Do not use duct tape because it will not retard vapor movement.
