Deck Joist Protection
MoistureShield Joist Tape is a new protective adhesive designed to increase deck lifespans by protecting their substructures from the elements.
The patented acrylic adhesive and woven cloth substrate forms a tight seal over joists and deck screws to prevent moisture infiltration, enhancing the longevity of any deck frame and adding up to 10 years to the life of wood and metal-framed decks.
The tape tears off the roll without tools and can be repositioned without leaving residue behind. Ideal for installation in any climate, it is available in 2” x 65’, 4” x 65’ and 6” x 65’ sizes.

Quick Flash
Benjamin Obdyke’s popular HydroFlash LA liquid-applied flashing is now available in 10-oz. cartridges, for those looking for a smaller alternative to the 20-oz. sausage-style tubes.
Like the original HydroFlash LA, it easily conforms around corners, curves and other awkward shapes, simplifying the process of flashing rough openings compared to using flashing tapes. Applications include sill pan flashing, door/window caulking, and exterior insulation.
