    Where to buy mastic--Home Depot?

    I need to seal the inside of our (downflow) plenum. Gaps exist between the sheet metal lap joints. Where does one buy mastic? Are there other caulking compounts that are acceptable alternates? I don't want the material to flake off or have fumes that we can smell when the furnace is running.Thx.

    Yes, I've seem them at Home Depot, the got the tub and tube. (May vary by stores)

    Otherwise, maybe at a wholesaler, HVAC dealer or on line.

    Try a HVAC wholesaler. # 6 work good. You can put it own with a brush. If your holes are big, get a roll of fiber tape and mask over it. If possible go over all the joints in your duct system. Supply and return. Metal or Duct board.

    where do you buy mastic

    Just bought some in home depot - it is called duct sealant. It comes in a tube or tub. Tub is much more cost effective. You need to brush it on. Works much better than duct tape which dries out.

    Since this thread have been here for quite some time, I think you already know that mastic and its applicator can be easily purchased online.

    Yes, you can buy mastic at home depot, since you are smelling gas i am gonna also tell you that you need to by foil tape with a ul rating i think the code now is ul 141 tape. you tape up the open areas and then layer the mastic on top of it. the mastic at home depot is not as good as the stuff companies use but it will work.

    Duct Sealer

    It was no mean feat to find any suppliers of duct mastic, sealant or sealer in the GTA. I had no luck at Lowes, Home Depot or Rona, nor a number of smaller heating/plumbing suppliers. Eventually, someone recommended Don Park.

    Don Park carries duct sealer, selling it by the tub and tube. They have a number of stores in the GTA, including Rexdale.

    I am having same problem in Eastern Ontario. None of the box stores carry anything specifically called duct seal. No Don Parkd down here. Will try one of the HVAC wholesalers. I have a contractor who is supposed to seal our existing ducts, but I wanted to do the insides of the register boxes and the hard duct above as far as I can reach inside.

    Inside Use OK???

    On careful read of OP, it seems like he will be using mastic INSIDE the ductwork...
    Is that considered OK???
