Here’s a great video from Corbett Lundsford’s Home Performance channel on Youtube called “The Birth of WRB”. He interviews Landus Bennett, the creator of Huber’s ZIP system, tours through his “wingnut” testing lab and gets to create and evaluate building materials and testing methods.

It was a cool video!
I learned that the LP WeatherLogic WRB facer is applied to the panels after-the-fact and is not nearly as well integrated to the panel as the Zip system. When they pulled the tape off, it was pulling the WRB facer with it. It probably works fine as long as everything stays adhered and is not disturbed too much.
