 Super removable weatherstrip October 13, 2008

Here is a great product.. Don't waste time with the rope type which falls off in a month or so.. this seals completely and is super easy to remove..
It doesn't damage woodwork or the frame. i'm getting ready to do it now just before the first freeze in Wisconsin.. No more drafts around doors or windows!! no other product is as good. However get your weatherstip in shape also.
Thanks Amazon for the opportunity to rate these. Hope this helps someone. Fumes were not bad at all IMHO!!
I recommend a power caulk gun to put this in place. My hand got real tired putting this on the windows. I got a pneumatic caulk gun, but they make electric, battery etc.

I found this product to exceed the expectations of not only me but the product label itself. This is a great product.
Absolutely works, but ventilation is essential March 14, 2009

Short review: Buy this, you won't regret it.
Long version:
My drafty old double-hung windows were so bad that we could rarely eat at our kitchen table because of the cold. Besides the draft along all sides, the top half of several windows would drop down about 1/4". That's a big space for heat to escape through when it's below freezing outside.
After doing much research, I thought this product seemed like the easiest and least expensive choice for my first attempt at saving some heating cost, and increasing our comfort level for the winter. After a season with it in place, I still believe this is true.
I installed the Seal N Peel in the beginning of October, and now it's March, so I've had plenty of time to evaluate its effectiveness. It has completely eliminated any draft whatsoever, and I will definitely be using it again next winter. Our oil consumption has decreased by somewhere between 5-11% compared to last year.
Of course that number doesn't mean much since the temperatures vary from season to season, but I am no less happy with the savings I've realized.
The fumes. There are reviews all over the web about the strength of the fumes, and they really are powerful. Ventilation will be necessary if you choose this product.
Again, ventilation will absolutely be necessary if you choose this product.
After a few seasons of nightmarish winters, I started looking into this early on in the season, and was able to get away with leaving all my doors open. I also have a few windows that crank closed, and decided that these didn't need sealing, so I was able to get some ventilation by having doors and windows open and pointing fans out these.
Even so, I estimate the fumes to be about equivalent to those of a full days worth of interior latex paint usage. You don't want to hang around and breathe the stuff. It took a good 8 hours to clear most of the smell, even with doors and windows open and using fans. There was still a fainter, noticeable smell lasting well into the day after I applied the product.
I hate to say it, but if you're reading this review and its already getting very cold, this probably isn't going to be a good solution for you this season. I still recommend grabbing some for next year and applying early.
I have what I believe are fairly large windows, 48x48 and 43x49, and each tube got me through a little more than one and a half windows. I laid it on pretty thick in order to try and keep that top half of the windows up. This was effective, but if you don't have such visibly large gaps to fill, or have smaller windows, you could easily get at least two windows done per tube.
My summary is that this is a definite buy, if and only if you are able to apply early enough to make arrangements for heavy ventilation.

I use this product every year in my classroom. My laminated posters stay up all school year. (In a room with painted cinder block walls and a wide range of temperatures.) Then I can easily remove the posters and store them over the summer, no sticky stuff left on the back.
It does smell some while putting them up, but opening the door and a window helps. By the next day the smell is gone.

This is a great product to seal off spaces around windows and doors, especially if you may need to remove it at some point. I used it around a window air conditioner which I remove during the winter months. Have a fan ready to help dissipate the fumes while drying.
