Fasteners are not required to tack” up either HardieWrap Flashing or HardieWrap Flex Flashing. The slow tack adhesion allows for easier installation because the flashing can be repositioned without tearing the surface of the housewrap. The adhesive strength of butyl rubber becomes stronger over time and reaches full-cure in 24 hours.
