What is air-sealing? More importantly what are the traits of a successful air-sealer? When you have trained as many air-sealers as I have, you begin to see patterns. Allow me to speak of these patterns so you can begin to learn who will thrive in this very new and unique trade. Through tales and slides I take you into the world of the air-sealer so that you can more successfully recruit for weatherization jobs. If you think this job is for everyone, you have not yet visited the air-sealing world. The attics we work in are dark dirty and claustrophobic. Often we crawl through a foot of insulation to get to the places that must be sealed up. Some find it fun. Most don't last a month. I propose we find the people who will most-likely enjoy this work and train them.
