Value Mastic Tape Information
All deck fittings should have a sealant to prevent water seeping into the superstructure and causing potentially serious structural problems and inconvenient aesthetic issues - mastic tape serves this purpose with good results.
Boats can take a lot of abuse, bobbing around while moored up, little knocks and bumps and perhaps great stresses while lifting out of the water. Many sealants cannot cope with such movements but mastic tape, due to its material properties, is able to adjust to these sorts of movements. Its pliable nature means it is able to stretch, contract and move with the boat not against it - maintaining a complete seal.
The value mastic tape is half as thick as the original mastic tape and so does not have the same resistance to the strains that boats can go through as the original Freeman marine mastic tape. However, it does offer a more economic option.
It is extremely important to maintain the seal on all deck fittings and replace any that seem to have perished as this will help to prevent further serious problems, it is worth doing!
