Big Bobby! Brother! You my friend are the first ever union brother I have met on a forum, period! Always wondered if maybe I was the only one with outside hobbies, and not just into banging tin all day, lol. Congratulations on your near retirement. It’s coming on two years for me, this next September, since I retired. Local 104, Bay Area, CA is my local. I finished off at 32 years, wanted to go longer, but beat my body up too much, so as soon as I hit my required credit years, I bailed. In fact, my business rep told me to get out, lol, and enjoy life before I end up in a wheel chair, lol.
That duct seal, and I don’t know if it’s the same as what you have cause I’ve never seen it in our local shops. I’m even surprised it’s got the word “duct” in there, cause it’s found at the Home Depot electrical isle, same section as where all the J boxes are. It’s tucked away down low around where the wire nuts are, so you gotta look hard to find it. They come in 1” thick, 1 1/2” wide x like 7” long, and that’s 1 lb. of it. I guess the sparky’s Wrap that stuff around outlet and switch boxes prior to drywall, to not allow attic drafts to make it into the living space. Makes sense.
Hey, man, when you are all good to go and retired, shoot me a pm sometime, and we’ll “talk shop”, lol.
