The plastic might rather direct the cold air in? Yes, not impossible. It doesn't hurt to try. But it won't be vapor tight.

No, it won't be vapor tight..
I think there's been hysteria about vapor tightness..
But the soft sealant has given the impression that it's so cold...

Mineral wool is quite worthless if it is not protected against drafts/air.

No, it won't be steam-tight..
I think there's been a hysteria about steam-tightness..
But the sealant has nothing to do with it being so cold…

Steam-tight = airtight?

Mineral wool is quite useless if it is not protected against drafts/air.

On the outside, it's easier to apply a tape to keep the air out.

Steamproof = airtight?

I don't think they are the same thing.

 

[Aneda]

I don't think that's the same thing.

If it is airtight, at least the air has a very hard time getting through.
