Bikemike Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Is new butyl tape sufficient to seal the front/side windows? Should they be finished up with lap sealant? Or, something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I've never used more than butyl tape for even roof vents and never had a leak because of the seal. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda S Thanks Linda, I like your replies. Short and sweet. Are there any differences between butyl tapes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 There are different thicknesses and widths but you can always double up if it doesn't seem like enough. There is black stuff which I never buy. It can streak later. I stick with the almost white. Just make sure it's the real thing and not putty tape. Butyl will string when you pull on it like chewing gum. Hard to even pull it apart. I put mine in the fridge before I use it. Makes it easier to work with Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
