Yourmomm 2 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hi you helpful lot. Anyone know who supplies this unctuous stuff in nz?(see photo)....its not the self amalgamating sort electricians use (coax seal) nor the foam-backed, or net-carried stuff that cant be moulded into any shape or form...its just the stuff like blu tack, but WAY more sticky... I can get it for $50 (NZ) a roll from USA, including shipping, but only if I buy 4 rolls. Seems a bit steep. Anyone know a local supplier? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yourmomm 2 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Ps they looked at me like I was nuts in mitre 10, bunnings, etc, and google has not been my friend... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yourmomm 2 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yeah thanks. That's the link I've already got. Nigh on $80 USD shipping, for one roll, or for any number of rolls, upto four. That's exactly why I'm after a nz supplier! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yourmomm 2 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Want to go halves on two rolls each?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yourmomm 2 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks CH but that's not it, either. Click on the link and you'll see the dreaded net carrier that stops it being mouldable...that stuff's good for sealing two flat surfaces to each other, but not for (eg) countersunk bolts, in deck hardware...

Crazyhorse 47 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 DENSO BUTYL - CORROSION PROTECTION - PRODUCTS - Tapes Plus https://www.tapesplus.co.nz/shop/PRODUCTS/CORROSION+PROTECTION/DENSO+BUTYL.html ??? They have a "Denso Butyl Mastic StripA permanently plastic (non-hardening) mastic, mouldable by hand" tape. I can suggest trying Noel at Norsand Boat Yard? He's a wealth of knowledge.094308485.

Yourmomm 2 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yes! That mastic strip looks more like it! I'll try it, and phone noel...cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yourmomm 2 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Aah, but they dont sell direct to the public. Thought that might be too easy.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S.M.U. 15 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Try blackwood paykles/nz safety next to trade surplus in whangarei, you might get someone that knows what they're talking about. Otherwise bunnings, where I get normal denso but good luck with anything else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,293 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I bought mine from the USA. Got half a roll left after doing the toe rails. Is that enough to be useful? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

2flit 52 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 https://marinehowto.com/bed-it-tape/ Any idea what makes a butyl formulation more suitable to Marine use? Read this from the manufacturer mentioned above: " After this article was published, we were forced to develop a marine specific butyl based hybrid elastomeric sealant that was specifically formulated and tested for marine use. The product is called Bed-It Tape and can be found in the; Marine How To Web Store. Hamilton Marine and Marine Outfitters in Canada are also distributors of Bed-It Tape. Sales of Bed-It Tape directly fund this site and keep it free. Please understand that despite our use of the word “butyl” Bed-It Tape is not a standard “butyl-tape”. Bed-It Tape is a hybrid product utilizing Compass Marine Inc. own proprietary formulation" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,293 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Rod, the guy who runs marine how to, has had a major medical event a while back. Currently the store seems not to be working, You could try sailrite, https://www.sailrite.com/Trimmable-Butyl-Tape-3-4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is about what I have paid in the US. The stuff is magic and goes a long way. Give the extra away to your friends and they will worship the ground upon which you tread.
