Source for trimmable White butyl tape?

[Pladdatoo]

UK supplier/ distributer anybody?

There appears to be different types of this stuff and it would appear that the trimmable stuff on a roll is the one to go for as opposed to the less sticky stuff available.
Is that right or will any stuff work?
Thanks

I would suggest you try a caravan supplier - they use butyl tape for sealing seams and fittings and it is usually white.

I got a 10 mtr roll of white from our local glass works as they also make Sealed units for double glazing windows. Cost approx.£ 10

Also just found this

@ £12.50 a roll in white or brown

That's Flexistrip made by Hodgsons Sealants. I bought a roll of it from our local glazier, I think any glazing installer will have it or an equivalent. It's not what is used in making sealed units, it's for bedding into frames. http://www.hodgsonsealants.com/prod...NUQXrj3_YzcHllUVFp9maSO3nEr5OP7hkgaAkFy8P8HAQ

Do you know whether this is the right tape to use for sealing aluminium framed to glass fibre cabin sides, please. Mine are surface fixed with inter screws.

Thanks

I thought so, that's what I used it for. (It was on a Beneteau, the original factory sealant was a double sided adhesive foam strip.)
Didn't get any leaks.
Mind you I sold the boat a couple of years later so can't give a long term report.

I also used it for the sealing my Midship Cleats which were fitted to the side decks and also bedding my Anchor Windlass Backing Pad to the deck - no leaks so far on any of them, so your windows should be fine.
