Bed-it butyl tape
"After hundreds of requests for a high quality marine grade butyl-based bedding product, Bed-It Tape, which is a butyl based hybrid-elastomer, was finally born. Due to EPA regulations the old school butyl, used by boat-builders 30-40 years ago, is now long gone.
I attempted to find a tape, that could survive the long term in the marine environment & pass my rigorous testing procedures but it was not to be. In the end I had to develop my own hybrid formulation. After months and months of going back and forth with my lab we finally landed on a formulation that checked all the boxes and passed all the testing."
