Air mitigation for my dome

#1

Post by JeffBevan »


I looking to source some linear footage of a poly brush 3" tall. Much like what is used on snow removal brushes for car windshields. I want to put it between my dome and the support surface it rolls on to mitigate air infiltration. I live in a pretty windy location and the flashing I have on the dome proper helps a lot but I think this approach on the bed would further improve the situation. About 3' tall and about 32' of length.
