In this video, I install the first of the three new hatches from Vetus. Butyl tape is used for bedding the hatch.

Also a fan of butyl tape on my '76 sailboat. Used it to re-bed an old bomar hatch on the foredeck. To reseal the lens into the frame, I used Dow 795. Anyway, will be easy now to reorient the hinges aft once you sail to somewhere warm :)

Butyl tape is so great! My dad taught me to make a tiny string of it and wind it around every single screw near the head for about 1/2 inch before screwing anything into the deck, even if there was an epoxy plug (he was maniacal about keeping the core dry and having access to ALL chain plates and such to inspect them once every month or so).

This _may_ be a little late :-) For a close approximation (without a scale): - pour the desired amount of liquid into the cup, mark the "full" line - pour half out into a second cup & discard. You now have 50% - repeat for 25%, and again for 12.5% - mark that as the "hardener" line - then you can pour in hardener to the lower line, then fill with paint to the top line for a 87.5 : 12.5 solution. The scale was clearly the best option though. Love your videos!

With all these days off, I had forgotten it was Sunday! Happy New Years, Mads, thanks for all of your patient filming and teaching. I'll wait until the New Year to argue with you about your wrong-facing forward hatch.

I've been watching the 2017 playlist for days, now, and very much enjoying it - looking forward to moving into 2018! I just bought a small sailboat a month ago, and my first roll of butyl tape arrived at home today. Looking forward to using it! Thanks for all the great tips, ideas, and inspiration!

You've converted me to butyl tape a while back already. Love it! Glad to witness an illustration of why all boats seem to have screws with different heads in places where they could have been of the same kind!

Hi Mads! Thanks for a nice series of DIY refitting of a sailboat. I hope your knowledge will come in handy in as I aim for getting a sailboat myself in the future. I didn't read all the comments, and as this episode is somewhat old now, you might had this idea yourself, or in another comment in a later episode. If I should mix Sigmadur and hardener I would calculate the weight by using the density. I looked it up and Sigmadur 550 has a density of 1.3 kg/l and the hardener 1.03 kg/l. Then you can use your good old trusty scale. ;) Happy sailing!

@TheBenronpro 6 лет назад

Hi there Mads, Happy New Year and thank you for so many great vids. Have been following your progress for a couple of years whilst completing an almost identical refit on our 30 year old 43 footer. It's nice to share the highs and lows with you. As an aside, have also mounted my hatches etc with buytl mastic, love the stuff. One thing to consider may be the use of Tef Gel or Duralac on the machine screw heads to stop the inevitable galvanic corrosion issues between the SS and the alloy hatch frame. I have discovered this screw up the hard way in the past. Anyway thanks for keeping me inspired to push on! 👍

@WakeforMe 6 лет назад

I used the same manufacturer of butyl tape in my refit. Great stuff - would do again.

@SailLife 6 лет назад

It was a little expensive to import (stupid tax and import fees) but it very much seem worth it :)

@hommie789 6 лет назад

Happy New Year to you Mads. A sealing arrangement I never thought of was a friend of mine did his hatches using, of all things, toilet wax gasket. He bought a couple and took the wax and put it on the hatch then installed. When I asked why he said that is what he has always used, it resists almost all chemicals, never gets hard stays flexible and creates a vacuum when tightened so makes a vacuum seal.

@Nomad5d 6 лет назад

Happy New year Mads. It looks like that nice big hatch let's in a lot of natural light, looks good. Thanks for taking us through all the details of your work. I think the diagrams are great. Keep up the excellent work.

@ole30g74 6 лет назад

I love your videos

@marshallbrodie9974 6 лет назад

Perhaps this has been brought up already, but the use of Tef-gel is highly recommended under the heads of the machine screws where they contact the aluminum hatch flange. The PTFE in the Tef-gel helps provide a barrier to prevent stainless steel to aluminum contact. Otherwise, as always keep up the good work.

@TonyAnschutz 6 лет назад

As always your attention to detail is impressive Mads. Hatch looks great and for the record I find butyl tape to be pretty dang awesome stuff to work with too.

@wallacegrommet9343 6 лет назад

Butyl is highly regarded in the weather resistance barrier field. I have used it as part of an engineered building envelope. My yacht rigger used it when rebedding my chain plates. Excellent choice.

@SailLife 6 лет назад

Very interesting :) It would be fun to take a look at the history behind butyl tape :)

@oliverdjurle711 6 лет назад

Happy new year Mads! Thank you for the video, I hope Jökull manages all the fireworks without harm or stress :)

@SailLife 6 лет назад

Happy New Year :) Jökull actually handled it perfectly. He slept right through all of the fireworks. As long as we're aboard Obelix he's okay. If we go outside he freaks out.

@stevenpaul9259 6 лет назад

I was sitting here shouting 'butyl tape!' at the point where you were working out what to use, and then you produced it. Haha!

@ilCignoTube 6 лет назад

LOL, I had exactly the same thought. I've used Butyl on my boat ever since I learned it existed and never have been disappointed. I even have some aboard in my toolkit. Keep up the good work and a happy 2018! Grtz, Timo

@stumpertsailing3831 6 лет назад

I am on my third sail boat all of which have had leaking ports, hatches and chain plates. I have used butyl rubber tape on every one including setting of deck winches and teak bright work. I am in full agreement that it is by far the easiest and best material for maintaining water tight integrity. In extra hot summers it still sometimes expands outwards and has to be trimmed off. You do a first rate job of anything you you install, well done. You are the type of person I would love to purchase any boat that you have owned as they are certainly going to be very well maintained.

Awesome videos I am learning so much about refurbishing a sail boat and the best part is I never make a mistake. Love the attention you put in to the details instead of just saying ah good enough! You obviously have far more patients than I could ever hope for...please share. Happy New Year to you and your ladies aka boat and girlfriend.

I love butyl tape! We work with it all the time.my guys use it for sandwiching together ductwork (hvac) when I replace ducts at schools you see it all the time that’s 30-40 years old ands it’s just as if it was added yesterday. Great stuff! I think it’s anti-microbial also but don’t quote me lol. Great video 👍🏻

@drwindsurf 6 лет назад

Thank you Mads. I would have used Sikaflex and then cursed myself when I needed to do work on the hatch - I love the way you explain your thinking - it is going to definitely help me when I fix up my own boat. :) Have a Happy New Year :)

@colinbolton5986 6 лет назад

Hi Mads, your method for calculating the volumetric ratio was spot on (assuming your maths was correct). I've been a paint chemist for over 40 years and you would put many professional painters to shame! Happy New Year to you & yours.

@benc65753 6 лет назад

Happy New Year back at you. Still 10 hours to go on this side of the line. I like your method of wrapping strips of butyl tape around fasteners. Beats my method of trying to roll out an o-ring of the stuff and then overlap the edges.

@sailingluana3037 6 лет назад

Happy New Years Mads. As always nice work, Boat and video! I also mentioned the recessing. Though later, I also thought a nice method would be rivnuts. They could also leave room to screw the headliner in... but like you said, there are all kinds of options and choices.

@SailLife 6 лет назад

Happy New Year :) That is one of my favorite things about DIY. There is no one solution to rule them all :) That makes life much more fun :)

@BaronWeber1 6 лет назад

Another great video! As far as I can remember Butyl Tape is all I have ever seen used around hatches and port lights, I think the 5200 would be way to difficult when you have to remove one. Happy New Year to you and your new lady! I look forward to these videos each Sunday, Thank You.
