Finally removed old dry caulk and recaulked per pixis instructions. Should be fine for a few years, but I am wondering abouththe butyl tape that one post referred to? Where to get it ?

Now if I can just repair the plywood cabin sole that deteriorated over time while I was trying to trace the leak. :(
