I have read the FHB and JLC articles on caulks and adhesives BUT, I don’t see any explainations regarding when to or when not to use them together. For example, if I use a construction adhesive (eg, polyurethane) under the full length of my bottom plates or if I use an adhesive to bond the bottom edge of sheathing to my rims, is it necessary to also use an air-sealing caulk (eg acoustical sealant) in these locations.
OR will adhesives fulfill both functions: sealing and bonding ?
Are the caulk and adhesive chemicals compitable for combined use, anyway ?
Ideas or experience ?
