only does the strapping protect against a possible (IMO unlikely) event of a screw binding and tearing the housewrap, you also obtain a (probably 3/4") air gap that may improve the wall energy performance and would certainly allow for condensate or water penetration down to the wall bottom...
It can be sprayed after the wall dried, otherwise it is not easily absorbed. (3).If there is any bigger cracking (>2mm), the outside and inside of the cracking should be filled first (with water-based acrylic sealant, silicone and etc.), and then the applied fluid is sprayed. (4)...

sealant may be applied at the interface to prevent water penetration. However, as discussed, the prior art has failed to create an expansion or control joint with enough space between building material26and expansion or control joint10to insert a sufficient amount of sealant to seal the interface...
the width of the first foundation tape will be placed into the mastic adhesive. Preferably, the mastic is a water-based high solids elastomeric acrylic sealant that can be easily troweled with a putty knife over most panel substrates curing into a protective rubberlike gasket over joints and ...
