Elite WarehouseWhite Butyl Tape 1/8 inch x 1 inch x 30 feet for RV/Mobile Home (2-Pack)

I am in Florida. By the time I got this is was no longer a round roll but almost triangular. And it would not release from the paper on either side. Not unless I wanted to roll it into a ball. So i keep it in the freezer and cut off strips as I need them. I had to reinstall my taillights and the full width was to wide. I could cut the length needed and then cut the strip in half. But it would get to soft to cut quickly. Within minutes in the southern heat it would be to warm to cut and also starts to stick to paper. Soon after that it got to sticky to work with easily. I bought a used 5th wheel and plan on removing all the exterior lights and scrapping off old stuff, mineral spirits helps clean what doesn't scrape off, and redoing them. Frozen tape is easy to cut to fit and doesn't mold and pushed out excess after tightening it down can be smoothed with a finger (dab in spirits if tape is to sticky).

This stuff is great for preventing or eliminating leaks on boats. DON'T USE SILICONE CAULK, USE BUTYL TAPE! Caulk dries up and cracks, butyl tape stays flexible for decades, literally. I found what I believe to be some original 1971 butyl tape inside a window frame on my sailboat that looked as fresh as the brand new stuff I bought. Also, butyl tape cleans up way easier than caulk.I used it on my sailboat to re-bed windows, lifeline stantions, and deck hardware. For windows you want to go all the way around with the butyl tape (plenty of videos online showing how to do it right). For deck fittings and stantions, just clean the parts and the spot on the boat where they go, put the screws/bolts through the hardware, then put a ring of butyl tape around where the screw/bolt comes through the hardware. Next put it in place, and tighten down. If you start by making the top edge of the hole a little bigger, it will decrease the likelihood of cracks in your gel coat if it flexes under stress.Anyway, I used almost the whole roll working on my boat and bought a second one because no boat should be without it and it stays fresh in a ziplock for years (unlike caulk).Remember, say no to caulk...it will leak, then it'll be a nightmare to clean it up when you finally decide to do it right with butyl tape.

I have used butyl tape before but always the grey variety. I wanted white so that it wouldn't be as visible if it smushed under the edges of whatever I was adhearing in my RV so I tried this stuff. The consistency is like working with gum. It won't peel off in one long piece like the grey butyl does, it stretches and becomes big long stringy strands when you try to work with it. It also gets stuck to your fingers and is just an all around pain to use. Maybe it's the brand and there are some white varieties that work but I would not recommend this brand.

I have a polycarbonate panel roof (40' x 26') that leaks like a sieve. The main reason why it leaks is because the home improvement store strategically placed the wrong size screws next to the panels. These screws are too short so they barely bite into the wood purlins, and the EPDM rubber washers are way too small.Another reason why the roof leaks is due to the capillary action of the water being sucked upwards between the horizontal and vertical overlapped portion of the panels.The leaking is so bad that when I see a screw that's not leaking water I go up to investigate.So I'm replacing all 1400 screws, and putting butyl tape on every overlap. I'm only halfway done, but it's working. I think I'll actually need 24 rolls of this stuff, so if you add in the cost to go with beefier screws, I'm looking at an $800 repair job, not counting my labor.Still, this repair will be cheaper than starting over with metal roofing.

I used this tape to put behind a few brackets when I installed a slide topper awning on my travel trailer. This tape is very different than what I have used before. The first issue I had was the edges of the tape as it comes off the roll are very wavy and irregular. This made it difficult to attach to a 20 foot long aluminum track for the awning. The second issue I had was the tape mashed out from behind the brackets much more than tapes I have used in the past. It oozed out so much that I had to trim it where I could get a razor blade in. We will see how it holds up but it is not very user friendly for install.

I installed approximately 20 Ft of this stuff to some RV trim I was replacing. Goes on nice. That is where the good part ends. In the past I have put this type of waterproofing tape on a lot of RV's. Mostly my own. Normally when one starts to put the trim on you put the tape onto the trim then pull off the tape separating the layers on the roll and press into place and add the screws to secure it. The separator tape would not let go of the tape I placed on the trim strips. It stuck to the tape just like it would stick to the fiberglass on the RV. It took me forever it seemed to get the trim cleaned up in the first place. Now here it is again stuck to the trim AND the separator tape. Anger is not a good source words to use. I,m not sure where the problem originated. Probably a manufacturers had a run of the wrong type of separator tape. My warning to anyone buying this tape from this supplier, BEWARE, who knows how long this production run was, if that is the problem, there may be hundreds of rolls around. I'm going to drive the distance to CAMPING WORLD and buy some more, BUT I WILL make sure the product is right before leaving.

The rolls I received were out of shape and appear to have been crushed. I was hoping for the white tape to work as it would be less visible against a white surface. As others have stated, the tape will not separate from the wax paper as it should, making it impossible to do a clean job with this tape. I tried putting it in the freezer but this did not solve the problem of the tape sticking to the release paper, making it impossible to use the tape as designed. I've had to through these away as they are unusable. I recommend another product.

We used it for installing our storm doors. What worked so well on our boat now works very well on land
