Careful about the " wetting your hands " tip, in my research, another " expert " said: " You need to be very careful not to get wet the surface where Butyl tape is to be applied "

I like your no nonsense approach to making a video. Do you think a person could use butyl tape to replace caulk on a small camper to replace caulking? Thanks in advance for a response and maybe a video on the subject.

I heard that butyl shouldn't be left exposed to sun after installing. With Maxxair Fan install, is that part of why the sealant/leveling sealant goes over the tape? So many of the videos used butyl as a matter of fact but recently I've heard some pushback. Some videos also showed being able to "rub" the tape off (with elbow grease) of the old fan in order to apply the new. Now I'm wondering if the old tape was putty tape instead?

Sean if you have to cut it to fit should you do that prior to refrigerating?

Can I use the butyl tape to level low areas then apply self leveling sealants on and around tape?

Thanks for the upload! Question: Does butyl tape adhere to a water based latex paint? I recently painted my plywood camper.
