When cleaning contaminated substrates, HS Butyl recommends using propan-2-ol (IPA) and allowing it to dry before applying the butyl tape.
Application
-
Apply directly from the reel onto one surface and press along its entire length to ensure good initial adhesion.
-
Remove the backing paper, position the other surface onto the butyl tape, and push firmly to seal across the joint.
