Off White: Adhesives, Sealants & Lubricants

It's definitely not white, I photographed next to the gray MD for comparison. It's just a lighter gray color that they charge a higher price for.

Pros
  • Adhesives, Sealants & Lubricants
Cons
  • Zero

Ideal for use next to old windows

I usually have to balance each fall at the top of the stairs to close the plastic windows. No longer! Instead I put it all the way around the inside edge of the storm windows and it's just as warm as the old plastic method. Safer, easier and reusable. We used it on the windows of our old farmhouse as kids and I'm so glad it's still around.

Pros
  • Industry & Science
Cons
  • Requires a socket

Makes a difference in comfort and heating bills

Makes a big difference in preventing cold air from entering windows and doors due to air leaks circa 1956 in an old house I rent. Made it a lot more efficient. Pretty fun sticking it in cracks and plugging leaks. The rooms are much more comfortable and I know I've saved money on my heating bills. I don't know why white costs twice as much as gray. Easy to remove, won't leave stains or stains.

Pros
  • Adhesives, sealants and lubricants
Cons
  • Expensive

Great concept, not great execution

I should have given this review a solid 2 stars. The fact that it actually stuck to the wall and functionally covered the gap kept me from going further down. Unfortunately I had high hopes for this product and that may have been part of the problem. It's pretty awkward, but I'm terrible at pocketing and cropping things. It was like the solution to all my problems! A ray of sunshine on a stormy day. I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered this product. That I can just put this thing…

Pros
  • Sealing tape
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
