damn damn damn edit timed out....

OK, here's the deal. I can't find the butyl tape in less than 32 roll quanity order. The part numbers are

Butyl 0.215" pre-shimmed tape -- 7241YP1, 20 ft roll, $10.45 times 32 rolls = $334.40
Vinyl Gasket for 1/2" window assembly -- WV3866, 100 ft roll, $26.89

To match up the length of the butyl to the length of the gasket, you'd need 6+ rolls of gasket. That's enough to do 60 windows. The materials would run $500, or a little less than $10 per window. Surely we have enough forum member interest to cover that many windows. Just for my Sovereign and Safari I need to do 8 windows.

Do we have any community interest?

If anyone has found the butyl in single roll quantities, please post a note here. Thanks.
