This episode of the Fine Home Building podcast is brought to you by Locktides, Tight Foam.

The best builders take weatherization seriously.

When they need to seal a gap that's too small for insulation but big enough to create a draft,

they reach for Loctite's tight foam.

With three formulations for everything from small cracks to the biggest gaps,

there's a tight foam product for every job,

including a low expanding product designed to seal the rough opening around windows and doors.

The high-density foam forms a tenacious bond to most common building materials,

stays flexible to prevent cracking when materials move, and keeps air, moisture, and pests out of the house.

Builders you care about energy efficiency, comfort, and durability, choose tight foam.
