The four-step solution promotes continuity of weatherproofing barrier systems.
Step 1: Pecora XL-Flash STPU Fast Curing Liquid Flashing and Joint Filler
A one-part, fast-curing, non-sag elastomeric STPU gun grade, trowelable liquid flashing and joint sealant specially formulated for the air and vapor barrier industry.

Step 3: Pecora AVB Silicone Sealant/Adhesive
Designed as an integral component for transition seals between dissimilar materials in air and vapor barrier systems, offering superior green strength.
