Butyl Tape in Tropics

[colemj]

I liked 101 also because it didn't chalk or turn yellow. I hate using Lifecaulk because it chalks and turns yellow wherever it is exposed. So you end up with yellow chalky lines around any fitting.

Mostly I use 4200 now, but find it too much of an adhesive and too less of a sealant. Maybe I will give the 295UV a shot.

I have a bunch of hardware to rebed this Spring. What is a good source for butyl Tape?
Thanks

Go here. Buy from the expert. It works. I've rebedded everything on my boat with it.

TremCo from any commercial glass shop.

GE Silpruf is an excellent marine silicone caulk. I used it for re-bedding my chainplates. Don't use the hardware store brands.

A thick coat of Henry 430 acts similar to a butyl rubber.
Takes a while to dry if laid on a thick layer.
It does not ever harden so wont crack. very water resistant, I put some underwater and it did not redissolve although the surface of the glue turned white after a few days, it stayed soft and gummy.
I use it as a low strength adhesive.
When dry and thick like a soft sticky gum.
Dries to a tan color, stays very stretchy and rubbery.
