Jun 4 at 19:52 | comment | added | Panda | To your point of entrapment, so is adding caulk really likely to make the situation worse? Is that because it restricts a little air flow or something else? | |
Jun 3 at 18:34 | comment | added | isherwood | No, because as I mentioned this is false security. You won't keep much out with a bead of caulk on the surface of what's a hollow three-dimensional thing. Remember that the other side of the J-channel is essentially the same situation. | |
