In yesterday’s episode (link in video) we talked about butyl tape as a sealant for deck fittings, in this extra we show you how it is applied and talk about some of the advantages of using it.
Advantages:
– Cheap
– Easy to use
– Little wastage
– Stores well and lasts for years
– More environmentally friendly than adhesive sealants
Disadvantages:
– Can be difficult to source (not in many chandleries)
– Not as adhesive as modern adhesive sealants
– Continues to extrude and may require extra scraping
Thanks for watching and for your fantastic support!
