Bed-It Marine Sealant Tape (Butyl)

Post by Maine Sail »

Hi All,

Bed-It Tape

After piles of email & PM requests I finally got the butyl bedding tape I had been trying to source. It is gray in color, 1/16" thick and 1/2" wide and a 50' roll. It is the perfect consistency & width for bedding deck hardware.

Here's a tutorial which will show what it is and how it is used:

You can order here: Order Bed-It Butyl Tape Here (LINK)

This is not the same product you get from an RV supplier, it is what was used by boat builders such as Sabre and others back when they used to take the time to use a good quality butyl tape. This product is extremely hard to get and I order it in large quantities in order to get my hands on it because it's not really used much in these dimensions, density and consistency in the US anymore.

For those of you who expressed interest I would advise ordering multiple rolls as I am using USPS flat rate boxes in order to avoid multiple shipping quotes and multiple emails back and forth. I still have a desk job so this will all be done in my spare time. Please be patient. I will ship as fast as I can and reply to inquiries as soon as possible as I want you to be happy.

Shipping:

I ship using the USPS medium flat rate shipping box. Shipping is $10.95 for up to six rolls.

Clearly shipping one roll for $10.95 is not as good a deal as two, three or four rolls for $10.95. Flat rate gets to be an excellent deal the more rolls you buy!


Price:

The price per roll is $15.85 for a 50' roll

Payments:

I am only accepting payments through PayPal. If you are not signed up it is very, very easy.


There is a PayPal button on my web site for ordering click below:

Hey Main Sail,

This took a lot of work to put together and there is great information here.

I think it should be moved form Buy/Sell to discussions to make sure more will find it.

Thanks so much for all of your hard work and for logging it here on the Cape Dory board.

Hi All,

I had some folks saying they did not understand how to order so I figured out how to add a PayPal button to my web site. I have edited the original post to include the new link.
