There are quite a few log home tape gaskets used in insulating log home laterals, some with very good compression and compression recovery - but the problem we encountered with open cell tape type gasket was unless it was installed in ideal weather conditions, it expanded prior to positioning in laterals when exposed to heat, had ineffective adhesion when installing in damp conditions, and it's open cell attributes meant it sponged water when uncompressed.

Regular closed cell backer rod addressed the problem of water wicking, but was is insuffiently compressable and the closed cell core collapsed under pressure and had no recovery.

While on a log shell reset in North Carolina, John noticed a similar gasket product on a mobile home - but this gasket had a P shaped profile. "Eureka!", says John, "a stapling flange!" and the search was on to discover the source of " P Gasket". To make a long story short, we began selling P Gasket to fellow log builders who shared our commitment to building quality scribed log homes.

Since then, we have managed to reduce our prices for the product in half, which given the performance record of P Gasket, makes it a very cost effective option.
