I'chiliad just nigh to install new side windows to my wheelhouse and have a choice of butyl record or sealant to utilise. Does anyone accept any feel of using either product with clamp-in windows? The tape seems a fleck more 'solid' than the tube of Arbomast BR and I feel might not ooze out equally much. Any thoughts please?

I have used both Arbomast and the record to bed my framed windows into the topsides. Tape has proved easier to utilize, more durable and more waterproof.
However, I have continued to use sealant to concur and seal the window glass inside its blend frame - simply because in that location isn't enough clearance for the tape.

I had all my windows refurbished and they were returned with a foam type tape. The windows were then clamped back in place on both apartment and slightly curved surfaces (longitudinal and transverse). The record has beingness working very well now for v years, UK surroundings, non a leak.
http://hadlowmarine.com/Pages/seals-bedding.html Scapa 3507 bedding tape, three mm thick. The curves were very slight and I clamped until the foam extruded in a slight radius, more forcefulness at the curves, plainly, was required.

Hadlow Marine did the same. My windows were originally clamped in the frame by an O ring forcing the glass confronting a apartment double sided gluey record, very thin. Hadlow, filled the frame with an appropriate adhesive sealant which secured the glass more centrally in the void within the frame. This, in my opinion, is far superior to the original construction, especially where the frame has to be strained to fit a curve.

True, simply there is cream record and butyl tape. The cream tape is the 1 to apply.
I take been using butyl tape on some fittings and I left a dewdrop extruded effectually the edge and it has picked up dirts equally you say. There is probably a amend mode to apply butyl tape, thinner, so it does not bear witness at the edges.

Thanks for the comments. I'm tempted to utilize the butyl tape as it will be easier to apply and the greater thickness and firmness will accommodate the slight unevenness and curvature of the wall better. Withal the reference to information technology picking upwardly dirt is one I hadn't considered. The reward of the Arbomast butyl sealant is that it volition shrink more readily and create a thinner articulation. It's l-l at the moment as to which way I'll become. What I really don't desire to do is choose the incorrect one and take to endeavour and scrape/clean information technology all off. I've discounted the foam tape as I am now a butyl convert for other fittings.

I've used butyl tape a lot, for glazing, deck fittings and other purposes. I've found information technology quite like shooting fish in a barrel to remove.
It does, equally mentioned, pick upwardly muck, which is quite obvious on the pale grey stuff I've used. On windows information technology might be better to apply black if available?

Arbormast wipes off easily with a fiddling white spirit on the textile.

had hadlow marine brand me new windows for my jeanneau sundream. he merely made them i fitted them. they accept i sided agglutinative foam tape stuck onto the GRP. then bolted through the gunkhole with the original aluminium frames on the within, we stuck arbosol in each hole before putting the bolts in and used Geocel Marine silicone sealant for a beed around the windows. front end window is curved 12mm, sides are 6mm. Accept still to test them int he elements merely the force per unit area washer hasnt got past them. all sealant when applied comes off easily before its fully cured with infant wipes. I used paint brush cleaner to get the old selant off.
