Sail Life - Rebedding deck-hull bolts using butyl tape
July 29, 2015 by Sail Life | Language: EN Play Time: 00:05:06 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
A couple of the bolts in my deck-hull joint have started leaking after 40+ years. Luckily cleaning and rebedding them is very easy! I use simple ethanol to dissolve the old butyl tape and rebed using new butyl tape. Good for another 40 years 😉
