That will work. But the mastic is a PITA for a reason. It works all the time regardless the weather, temp, etc. We have tried a lot of things over the years and its the one that always keeps the water out

I find Scotch 2200 series Mastic to be too much trouble to remove when necessary and I want something less gooey than the Thomas & Betts Duct Putty I have been using. My thought would be to do a layer of Super-88, then Temflex, then a layer of Super-33 tape on top. Just curious; thanks. -Steven On 3/2/2010 12:58, Marco Coelho wrote: > We prefer: > Layer Material > 1 coating of liquid scotch coat > 2 3M self vulcanizing tape > 3 coating of liquid scotch coat > 4 3M self vulcanizing tape > 5 cheap electrical tape > > The liquid scotch coat really seals everything up.
