Island Time 1,235 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 OK, I've finally been able to source and have in stock the original Bed It Tape, for bedding deck fittings. The first shipment (18 rolls, that's a case) arrived today, so ex stock in NZ for the 1st time. $50 + GST per roll - it's 15m long, 13mm wide and 1,6 thick. This is all I use now and it's awesome!

I roll out a thin strip, stick it down, wrap it around the nut and crank it down. Have never had a bed-it leak... The recommend process is a bit more multi-phase... https://marinehowto.com/bed-it-tape/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Full Instructions are here https://marinehowto.com/bed-it-tape/ but basically clean the area to be used, and put it on the surface. Bolt/screw down the hardware and trim of the excess that squeezes out. You may have to do the trim bit again a few weeks later. That's it - as bolted down, it squeezes out and seals around fastenings, although I tend to put some around the top of bolts and countersinks as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zozza 293 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Bed-it is one product that lives up to the hype. The only thing you have to be careful about is using solvents around it...if you have penchant for walking round your deck with a turps laden rag cleaning this 'n that, just be careful around fittings that have Bed-it.
