Reply to comment by more_than_just_ok in What kind of foil tape for bath fan install? by canadave_nyc

When you say to pay the money for "this tape", do you mean the HVAC multipurpose foil duct tape, or the "bath fan installation tape" I mentioned? If it's the latter, I have no idea where to buy it...Home Depots everywhere in my area are out of it, and I can't find it anywhere else online (I'm in Canada).

I just meant any HVAC foil tape that has that has the removable backing. I've seen it at Cdn Tire and Rona. But beside it will be a cheaper tape without the removable backing that is basically metal coloured packing tape, avoid that. I don't think the brand really matters.

It's likely all the same. Anything labelled specifically for bath fans is just a marketing measure. Honestly, regular old duct tape would probably work.
