Thanks. Orders already placed for the regulators and clips. Have to be very careful removing the vapor barriers.

Home Depot has this - it will probably work:...

Went to HD try to locate this Butyl caulk strips. They do not carry those or whatever is closest. All they have are weatherstrips for home windows...

Just placed my order with clips. Off to HD later for the 3M Butyl sealant tape.

I realize that the vapor barrier also needs to be addressed. Sealing all over the plastic barrier. The narrow and can be molded. I can get those...
