Plywood seal/tape joints- outside of frame

[daunker]

Hi, im putting up ply for the outer skin (will have breather membrane and then battens, counter battens and vertical cladding.

 

It's going to take me a few days and whilst the forecast isn't horrendous I did think maybe I should tape the joints as there will be some drizzle. I understand the joints are the weak spots as I have not sealed. Then I thought maybe for air tightness I should tape them somehow anyway? Is this a done thing, any product recommended for this ideally which would satisfy both?.

 

Will be breather membrane on top, but I presume this allows breathing. Inside frame will be rockwool, and to elimate bridging pir inside that.

 

Thanks!

It's a done thing in the US when using Advantech Zip System sheathing. You could see if the Zip System tape is available in Europe or over here?
