Review on Holikme Stopper Insulator Stripping Adhesive Building Supplies by Chris Rob

Revainrating 5 out of 5

worked great on my wooden door, may not work as well on a metal door

I attached this to a wooden door and it works great. An excellent seal that completely blocks drafts. What is important to note about all of these door seals is how they attach to the door itself. If the gasket is fitted so that it actually touches the floor and not slightly above it, then every time you open and close the door there will be a shearing force on where the door and gasket attach. I suspect that to overcome this - especially if the gasket is rubbing hard against the bottom - you'll need a very, very strong adhesive. On my wooden door I applied the 3M adhesive that comes with the seal, five white nails included. By sliding it through the seal into the door, the seal is now fully locked. Of course, this is not possible with a metal door. My guess is that with a metal door I would either have to be more careful and precise and place the gasket just off the floor, or I'd have to put some silicone glue on where the gasket attaches to the door to make it a little more durable. .. long-term. Then why doesn't the compression come from the start? Probably because it would make removal more destructive, so the choice is up to the user. All in all a great print for the money.
