Mastic

What good is a powerful heating and cooling system if air can leak in and out around the ducts? This sticky, cement-like product does a terrific job sealing around ducts so these leaks don't happen, making a building more energy-efficient. Mastic works better than duct tape for this purpose. It can also be used to seal cracks in walls. Water-based, VOC-free mastics are available.
