I finally got around to pulling one of the windows out today. I did the butyl tape and reinstalled it. After I installed it I took the plastic scraper and went around the window and scraped off the excess butyl tape. My concern is I have a slight gap in places around the window where the butyl tape is not stuck completely between the frame of the window and the exterior side. I tried to take a photo of what I'm talking about. I was hoping the butyl tape would form a complete seal (I'm sure there is a tight seal lower on the window but I don't like the idea that water can get behind the tape and sit). I've read posts where people didn't caulk after the butyl tape because it did such a good job. In my case I wouldn't feel good about it unless there was caulk over it. Any thoughts? Thanks
