I have finally hung all my 7" and 6" ducts. When I check for leaks, I found leaks in the wyes at the factory joints, leaks in the elbows at the crimps, etc. So I painted all of them with latex roof paint. Still leaks at a few places I missed, plus the Lee Valley blast gates sound like they may be leaking a little also.
Do I have to keep sealing leaks until it is airtight?
