Filling nail holes in Zip?

b4316207 | Posted in General Questions on

I have a question. Framing almost done. Have exterior sheathing done with Zip board.

I noticed that the framers’ guns’ pressure was high, and nails in some areas went deep into Zip, or in some areas nails missed the studs.

Question: Does it make sense to try to fill deep shot nails with a liquid barrier of some type?

If yes, what type?

I was also thinking of putting a stapled or peel-and-stick weather barrier over the Zip instead. Does that make any sense?
