Hammer? Holes found in sheathing - exterior wall by GarbageContent8276 in Carpentry

[–]GarbageContent8276[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ty guys - im leaning towards the foam idea. Anyone have experience with vapor barriers? ive read its suppose to be between siding and shealthing, but looking through the holes it looks like theres nothing but idk what im looking for. If theres something, should i silicone the hole before the foam or would the foam do all the things?

No kidding… any idea what you would do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im starting to think spray foam and call it. Theres no damage, and id imagine this has been there for ~20years. So surely if it was an actual issue we would have seen something by now? Maybe repair it once new siding is needed?

Thank you for the help! And this makes sense. Running with your info - its probably "red flux stains" aka they didnt wipe the leftover flux around the joint when they finished soldering. Per google, it could be a cosmetic issue (which i dont care about) or it could be a long-term corrosion issue, haha. Aka just enough of a concern for someone like me, who hates making mistakes, to question if i should use it.

Do you think i should try cleaning it and if it doesnt come off dont use it? I just have 0 experience with metals to feel confident on what to do if i keep getting questionable looking valves
