Hi Rick,
I was about to write that McMaster-Carr has a very good selection of butyl tape
at great prices, but it appears they don’t offer it any more. I am usually a
big fan of McMaster-Carr as they usually have most anything, in great quality,
and reasonable priced. For example, the little dremel sanding drums cost $3
for a bag of 25. I used to pay twice that for just a handful at a box store.
My other go to supplier is Grainger. They have two nice choices for butyl tape:
[1] 2”W, 1/8”T, 30’L black butyl tape ($16)
