I'm curious about how the self-adhering silicone tape linked on page 1 compares to old fashioned self-adhering butyl tape. I ggogled but didn't find anything. Can anyone here shed some light?
We used the self-adhering silicone tape I mentioned earlier. It was highly recommended to us by Bill from TruckCamperWarehouse in NH (where we got our Northstar). So, we figured we'd order a roll from Amazon and give it a shot. Super easy to work with. Cut, stretch, wrap, done! After a year it looks and holds like new. It isn't sticky itself, but has some "magical" property that when you stretch it and it contacts itself it just stays.
I can provide pics of it around my battery wiring, if anyone is interested.
