J joshea Registered User Messages 183 6 Dec 2009 #1 I have slabbed a vaulted ceiling with an insulated slab Now I need to attach plywood to this in order to get a grip for a T & G ceiling finish Can someone tell me the best way of sealing the joints of slabs and ceiling as a whole I was thinking of stapling on some plastic and taping the joints in order to make it airtight Any comments/ideas would be appreciated
