Hi,
I'm looking to add some deck fittings and after seeing several videos on YouTube, I'm going to use butyl tape to seal.
So I went online to find some and became very confused. I can see loads of rolls of butyl tape described as a double sided tape. I've seen it shown as a sticky cord to go around a window. Nothing that seems to correspond to what I've seen on videos where it seems very effective. I'm not after a roll of double sided tape
What I'm looking for as butyl tape is a roll that you can pull a chunk off of, and it can be manipulated like putty to mould around holes, screws and bolts. Excess can be stripped away and reused. When fittings are tightened to the deck, this will extrude out as pressure is applied (and removed).
Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and can advise what to buy (ideally posting a link)?
There is a channel on Youtube called Follow the Boat that uses it. A couple of videos showing it are as follows:
(forward to 2 minutes and 5 seconds)
Can anyone advise?
Thanks in advance
