tape

hi, I have read the various posts on rebedding deck fittings with butyl tape. I very carefully rebedded several stanchions with butyl tape--cleaned the area thoroughly, placed a 1/16" base of butyl on the deck under the stanchion base, wrapped each of the bolts in butyl tape "worms", etc. A...

I removed and rebedded with butyl tape one of my portlights that was leaking. After trimming the butyl that squeezed out between the frame and cabin I was wondering if any other type of sealant needs to be applied around that edge.

Over the years, especially in the last few spring weeks, via PM's/email, I have been asked how I bed deck hardware with butyl tape. I officially apologize for being so slow with completed photo examples. I have been meaning to do this but just did not have the time to complete it. Late Sat...

Just wanted to thank everyone who posted their experiences with re - bedding portlights on their boats,I got through re- bedding two of them today.They leaked terribly before.When I finished them,I stood down below and had my buddy run the hose directly on them for 10 minutes. Not a drop of...

hi there Went to the marina today with the plan of hoisting the sail up the Harken furler on my boat. My question is the luff has two ropes sewn into it and the foil on the furler has to slots which i assume accept both of these small ropes? I am having a bear of a time getting them started...

Hi There, I was using red tuck tape to hold up the 6 mill poly skirt around my boat while painting the bottom. The residue left was a nightmare to get off and took me two 8 hr days but i finally removed all...but now i have a bit of pink staining that looks pretty bad. I need some...

Hi all, Can someone clarify luff tape terminology for me. I have older Furlex furler and in the users manual indicates that slots in the furler foil are Ø6 mm (that's a zero with a slash through it followed by 6mm). The notes recommend a max Ø5mm luffrope/lufftape (max Ø4 mm "hard line")...
