Expert Reply:
That sounds fine to me, Christine. Butyl tape is just used to water proof areas, so the main thing you'd want to make sure you're doing is sealing any places that could take in water - i.e., gaps in trim, screw holes, etc, so whatever that size that shakes out to be is the size you'd need.
