It appeals to my tastes. Sure, it's multipurpose. It was probably 6 months ago that I used it to attach brake lights to my backhoe. I'm still stuck in that place. It will be useful in other ways.
Before applying, we recommend cleaning all surfaces of debris and wiping them down with denatured alcohol.
It's likely to happen. It appears to be watertight to me.

To put it another way, could I rip off a chunk and mold it in my hands to fit a specific area? It is, in fact. My truck's antenna entry holes under the seats and in the firewall were perfectly sealed with this product. I'm sure I'll find a variety of other applications for it.
This was purchased to install and seal a high-mount third brake light on a Toyota 86, and it worked flawlessly. It came with 3m automotive tape that worked until it was melted by the sun. It also lacked a seal to keep light from leaking in through the back window. This stuff works like industrial silly putty; it's simple to apply, but I'm not sure I could take it off if I wanted to. Excellent product, with plenty of leftovers for future projects. I'm very happy. br>br>NEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1- 2019: In an emergency, this stuff appears to be useful for patching a tire. I drove to work and hit a nail without realizing it until I went outside for lunch and discovered my tire was flat. Thankfully, I had some leftover from my previous project in the trunk, so I cut off about two to three inches, flattened it in my hand, and molded it over the hole after removing the nail. Then I cut a piece of cloth about the same size and layered it on top to keep it from sticking too much to the road. Then I backed the car over the patch and used a portable air compressor borrowed from a coworker to fill the tire to the proper pressure. worker. It comes off after each drive, but it keeps the air in the tire long enough to get home or to a garage where it can be replaced. It's not the best option or intended use, but it gets the job done on punctured tires in a pinch.
On the vapor barrier and the doors of automobiles. After upgrading the door speakers on my ten-year-old Mustang, I discovered that the vapor barrier was loose in a couple of spots due to dried-out butyl rubber. Wear latex or nitrile gloves when working with this because it gets sticky as the temperature rises. It can also be used as a gap filler/sealer and to reduce or eliminate vibrations between two surfaces. br>br>Just keep in mind that this stuff isn't supposed to harden or cure, so don't expect it to hold up under pressure or vacuum.
If you're a car audio enthusiast, you probably already have a roll of this, but if you don't, get some right away. There are a variety of applications for this device, including those that are not related to automobile audio. When you have this stuff, you'll start thinking about how many different things you can do with it. br>br>I used it to separate a speaker adapter bracket in the doors of my truck. This stuff served as a "gasket" between the adapters and the door, which I made out of a plastic cutting board. It worked perfectly. I still secured it with nuts and bolts, but given how sticky this stuff is, I probably didn't need to. br>br>It's also great for locating and repairing rattling parts in your doors and door panels. br>br>Without a doubt, I'll keep a roll of this in my garage.
Perfect for re-sealing my car door's plastic sheet! br>The old seal was easily removed with a plastic putty knife and rubbing alcohol. This provided a nice, clean surface for the new butyl tape to adhere to.
A multipurpose item that can help with a variety of tasks and can be used to repair a variety of issues. This was used to keep the interior of my car quiet. Any squeaks or rattles I could find were easily remedied by inserting this material between the panels. It can also be used to store interior trim with broken mounts or clips. In the future, I'll use this for additional projects and fixes.
Excellent product, much thicker than the original butyl on my BMW, and extremely sticky. I used it to repair a common leak from the rear door vapor seal, which tends to loosen over time and leak into the back carpet on rainy days. My BMW f10 528i was manufactured in 2011. Since the late 1990s, it has affected all 5 series and 4 door 3 series vehicles. You'd think that after all those years, BMW would have found a way to fix it. At the very least, it's a simple do-it-yourself project.
It is a good deal. Aftermarket headlights are resealed with this product. Using a hair dryer makes it simple to work with. I still have over half a roll left and am constantly finding new uses for it. Broken TV remote battery door latch? Butyl was able to correct the problem.
