Nobody replicates the original dam, and the factory did not use butyl tape. The best you can achieve is a new foam dam used with urethane. My glass tech can lay a urethane bead with precision, and a dam is not needed. If one really must have a dam he will use it. There are threads on this site with photo reference of original dams.

We have been using a ribbon to duplicate the cloth... along with the dam and urethane.
