Hey Jeff...
I've also had email exchanges w/ John Lawton and have perused a site he
recommended for info on gap seals...all very interesting. Could you go
into a little more detail on the nature of your installation? Exactly
where and in what plane have you attached this styrene? Does it create
a pressure seal?. In what way does it alter the airflow?
