Rope Caulk Bedding

Got an email tofday pointing to a Sail Magazine article:  http://www.sailmagazine.com/boatworks/boatworks-tip-rope-caulk-bedding
​
Seems like rope caulk bedding might be useful alternative to butyl tape, and at some savings. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks for the info. I'll stick with the butyl tape and MaineSail's method!
