Anyone know what kind of store I'd go to for butyl tape?
Tried the hardware and RV parts stores but had no luck.

I got butyl tape at NAPA auto parts. As a cautionary note, I have written before that whilst this stuff sealed my window well against leaks, it also has the nasty habit of sagging and spreading in heat, which in FLA has been a big PITA. I would not use it again in this application. Furthermore, the only type I found was black, which harmonizes nicely with the white hull(!). Regards, Ron srsk Orion SW FL
