Best place to buy butyl tape?

[steve yates]

Thinking it looks like the cleanest most effective way of sealing fittings and screws/bolts etc.

When I google it I get a dazzling array of products, and I cant believe they are all the right stuff? Just want to be sure I get the right thing for the job.

Supposedly the best 'butyl' tape is through this guy in the US.
Bed-it Butyl tape

When I re-bedded my fittings back in 2012 I bought 6 rolls from them. Expensive but I felt it was worth it. No leaks so far touch wood.

I've also bought this tape through Amazon for another boat I have and been impressed with it.

Of course there are cheaper versions that may be as good or better.

HTH (or not )

I bought mine off E bay. They are mostly roofing suppliers. Used on forward hatch and port light replacement. No problems.

butyl tape seems very similar to butyl putty ,used for double glazed sealed glass units in wooden frames. The putty is a lot softer than the tape
It's so handy in a roll ?

Just be aware that over time it does have a habit of oozing out at the edges over time (I used it for some fairleads on my last boat and had to cut the excess back with a stanley knife a couple of times).
