Butyl tape under compatible overlaps
Compressible butyl sealing tape belongs in a compatible lap detail. The mating surfaces and fastening arrangement affect whether that tape can form the intended seal. Include the tape width and thickness required by the detail, the sheet finish and whether it is protected within the overlap.
Cleanliness is not a minor note. Dust, oils and incompatible residue can interrupt contact. Surface preparation and application temperature come from the selected tape's instructions; this page does not invent a universal minimum temperature or pressure.
