Hi Rick,
I was about to write that McMaster-Carr has a very good selection of butyl tape
at great prices, but it appears they don’t offer it any more. I am usually a
big fan of McMaster-Carr as they usually have most anything, in great quality,
and reasonable priced. For example, the little dremel sanding drums cost $3
for a bag of 25. I used to pay twice that for just a handful at a box store.
My other go to supplier is Grainger. They have two nice choices for butyl tape:
[1] 2”W, 1/8”T, 30’L black butyl tape ($16)

After using Butyl tape for the first time on my dodger window install, I
follow the recommendation of so many folks I met in Canada last summer and
would encourage you to try this product for hatches windows or any of the
deck sealant issue you might have. The savings in clean up alone is immense
and I think it makes for a much more dependable seal. As for the life of the
product, I am only onto it about 2 weeks, but everyone I met last summer were
really hyped up about it. Marine stores have it (West Marine will order it),
but ebay has various colors and thicknesses for mucho cheaper. I made quite
an investment in my 20 foot roll,
