Where can I get the stuff? I went to napa looking for "glass setting butyl tape" and they said it was banned and didn't sell it anymore. I also heard 3m 2229 Mastic tape was the same thing, but nobody sells it locally.

i'm not 100% sure if i'm thinking of the same stuff as you, but if it is what i'm thinking you can get it at any hardware store. It's the black tar-like stuff right?
if you can't find that, I used some stuff at work that is basically the same thing but runnier and from a tube. We just called it demon Sh** because it is soo sticky and horrable to work with, but it would do the job very well. It is used to seal vapor barriers to concrete and other jobs like that, I don't remember it's real name, but if you just go to a hardware store and look at their junk from a tube, it will be there.

you should do a search for something like cheap seal string. there was a thread on this a little while back.
You can get it from napa. I think it is called butyl setting tape or something to that effect. It was realy cheap, and was wider, but the same stuff.

my bad, 3m makes that stuff, but I don't know if you can get it locally unless a local hardware store carried it. Hm...I think homedepot might have some sort of pipe insulation tape that is the same stuff. I will check homedepot for it today when I get my spray insulation for my chiller and let you know if they carry it. Although, the homedepot by me never has anything i want.

Did you get it from mcmasters?
I am gonna see if napa or homedepot has any right now. I would like it flat and thick to cover my mobo and vid card easily.

I think I am gonan pick up that kind for coating pcb's of vid cards and mobos. The put armaflex over it. I think that would work better than anything else. With all the stuff on the pcb's the armaflex wouldn't seal out all the air, but with a layer of seal string and then armaflex I would probably be realy safe from condensation.

oh, cool. Sounds like good stuff. The butyl setting tape that I got from napa is realy crappy. Way too sticky, and it gets black crap everywhere.

I think its glazing tape that is used for sealing up windows. It feels about as sticky, and its designed to be used as insulation from water, cold air, snow, and excetera.
Glazing tape is only like 20$ for a roll of like 25 feet at ~1 inch wide. (At least thats what was estimated to me because they didnt have the exact price on hand)
