There are certainly other products that can serve the same purpose, such as Soprema's Sopraseal. Actually, I believe that a lot of EIFS manufacturers have their own product for this purpose as well. Blueskin is simply the most common, and would be better to have than nothing at all. What do you typically use? Thanks for chiming in Chris.

I disagree the BLUE SKIN is the best product on the market for that. They are at least 5 different tapes you can choose from for that purpose, some of them much better from blue skin. BLUESKIN has a shiny surface - therefore does not grab and hold any plaster on top . So around windows you must use screws to firmly secure foam not to flap under the blue skin-(4-5 inches or so around the window). I try to avoid always screws I DO NOT RECOMMEND the blueskin as a top quality product for this purpose. I agree with general concept around the windows MUST be prepared before applying styrofoam.
