You use putty tape on fiberglass and metal. Butyl tape on rubber. At least, for roofs. I don't see why it'd be different for a wall. I read it on the instructions for a roof-mount vent hood replacement kit from Camco. Chemical composition/compatibility with rubber or ability to flex with temperature changes may have something to do with the difference. I couldn't say. I'm guessing.
This kit contains butyl tape, because I read it was best. I used this kit to install a vent on a trailer's metal roof about 3 weeks ago. It stuck like poo on rabbit fur.
