Hello, Can alternative methods for duct sealing be used besides plastic wrap? One of our contractors is proposing using foam to seal the end of the duct openings. From what I can tell the SMACNA guidelines are not clear on the specific duct sealing method. Thanks.

Not sure how you use foam to do it. But if it is a tight seal, that should be fine.
