            Can this product be primed and then painted? I am using on ductwork that 'could' be subjected to rain/snow. Since it is rated as water 'resistant' and not 'waterproof', it seems painting would protect the product's seal-ability.

              Is this safe to put on the inside of a return duct? It’s part of the floor joists and there is insulation on the sides I might not have to remove if I can put it on the inside. Would it leave a smell if I did that way?

              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              The preferred method is to use it on the exterior of the duct. Be sure to adhere to the full recommended set time before turning on the unit. This will help reduce the odor.

                    Thin
                    Are use the red devil and it was much much thicker. This is the consistency of thicker latex paint. I think I have to put a second coat on everything. Double the price of red devil 181 mastic which is much much thicker

                      Used this product to seal plenum from Air Handler to Central duct work in my daughter’s mobile home. We had to replace the subfloor under the unit because her old unit leaked and rotted the floor out. After replacing the subfloor, we reused the old plenum. It never was sealed correctly and air was escaping under the trailer. I applied most of the mastic around the inside of the plenum with a cheap paint brush. Getting it into all the corners and filling small voids where air could escape. I used the palm of my hand to apply the mastic to the underside of the plenum where the fingers fold over attaching it to the central duct work. This worked very well for getting a nice thick coat of the mastic to cover all the bent over fingers and fill any holes. The mastic wiped right off my hand with a paper towel and then I just washed my hands with soap and water to get rid of ant left over residue. I let it sit overnight before installing the new Air Handler, checked it for good seal and rigidity all was great ! I would recommend this product to others for sealing any joints in your ductwork to prevent air leaks that cost you money on your heating and cooling bills. It’s easy to use and easy to clean up, while wet with soap and water.

                      Opened my package today and the container was busted open. I put it in a kitchen trash bag and will be returning for a new one. Hopefully I can get to use it.

                        This was packed inappropriately. It burst all over the contents. I’ve taken the contents out clean them left the mastic in the box ready to return or replace.

                          We used air duct sealant instead of fiber lock, after cleaning the inside of our 60 year old AC registers. We wanted to hold down any fiberglass. It’s very thick, and a slow tedious process. We used 3” disposable brushes, @ the edges of the fiberglass board, we covered it with AC duct tape, then painted over the top with the duct sealant., also in hope of reducing all dust particulates. We are not professionals so do your own research, but it is a very smooth cleanable surface now. This is a winter project, when the AC is off. Actually we’ve had the heat on a bit.
