Butyl tape is an essential tool for weatherproofing marine and RV components. This sturdy material creates a long-lasting, weatherproof gasket to fill gaps between your RV's outer hull and the mounting points for vents, windows, and doors.

Specs:
Butyl tape is used primarily as a gasket for preventing moisture from leaking into your RV around cutouts in the hull for vents, doors, windows, and wiring outlets. Butyl tape is widely used by RV manufacturers because of its high performance and durability. It does not dry out and crack over time, and its strong adhesive quality means it sticks and stays in place on smooth surfaces.
Butyl tape is most often used in conjunction with sealants to create the highest level of weatherproofing to prevent leaks and ongoing damage. It's ideal for use in areas where fixtures need to be drilled, nailed or bolted into place. The rubbery material keeps those openings sealed and free from water damage. While this is great for those who do their own repairs and upgrades, butyl tape is also good to have on hand to make temporary repairs. The tacky material can plug up any problem areas and hold strong, so you don't have to cut your trip short.

Butyl tape is an essential tool for weatherproofing marine and RV components. This sturdy material creates a long-lasting, weatherproof gasket to fill gaps between your RV's outer hull and the mounting points for vents, windows, and doors.Vent is sufficiently built not as heavy duty as the one I replaced, but should do the job. Only other complaint would be that the butyl tape is placed inside the roof vent cover where it heats up and adheres to every point of contact. Ironically this was a complaint I saw mentioned on other reviews I had read before making the purchase. etrailer customer service was very helpful when placing the order and getting what I needed to get the job done.
Perfect for sealing windows and corner moldings- the 3/16 thickness works well for old style corrugated siding
The package's internal packing was not firm enough to prevent the coil of tape from getting accordioned-out into a bit of a messy cone-shaped blob. Product is still usable and leaving it in the right orientation overnight has helped it return to a a workable coil.
product arrived quickly and well packaged. Product performed as described. The product was difficult to separate from the waxed paper it was attached to.
Worked really good to seal screw holes. We’ll see how it holds up. Was shipped in separate box and wrapped in paper.
Product wasn't packaged. The product made a sticky inside box on other products purchased.
Works great, packaging leaves much to be desired.
Perfect for my restoration.
