Review on 9/16" X 5/8" White V-Shaped Door Seal Strip - 35Ft Fowong Kerf Weather Stripping. by Ashwin Worlds

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Adhesive is useless in heat

First, this is made to use on window or doorframe with an edge that slides into the weather stripping piece. We don't have anything like that. There is some low grade adhesive on this, but it is essentially useless. We cut pieces of this stuff to fit a side door on the travel trailer and thought the adhesive would attach to the metal frame and hold. It did for about 24 hours. I'm not sure if the 101 degree heat caused the failure or if this stuff is just not meant to hold. I actually pulled this out and just used those foam pieces that go around a window unit air conditioner instead - 3 days later its still in place without any problems.

Pros
  • bit hard to press into the kerf
Cons
  • Must have a very thin gap to fill, meaning maybe 1/8".
