When I use that pipe for dryer vents I also use aluminum tape which seals the joints nicely. For sections that like to open up you can run a piece of tape along the seam. It looks nice when your done too if you use the plastic widget to smooth the tape.

I used the UL recognized tape. Pays to do it by the book.CNC machines only go through the motions.

Yes, ordinary "duct" tape is worthless. Check it after 3 years... A good one is made by Nasua (forget the number, but a 300 series).
We put an approved mastic on all joints - code required here. Tape is only used where a connection needs changing, like a flexible hose. Even then, we use clamps and the offset type for spiral flex duct.
