Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)You'd think that there should be no problem with the one aspect of this kit that is totally in the manufacturer's control: the ability of the tape and the film to stick together.
The first few years in this house, I used 3M 2144W Indoor Patio Door Insulator Kit out of habit, having lived for some years in Minnesota (one of the Ms in 3M). I use a goo remover and denatured alcohol to get rid of the traces of previous applications.
Last year, I noticed that this Frost King brand was about half the price (and still Made in USA) and figured I'd give it a try. With some difficulty similar to that described by the reviewer in NY who loves it, I was able to get it to stick to the frame and all was well.
This year, it took a little more work to get the tape to stick to the frame, but I was really surprised to find that after all that, the film won't stick to the tape!
Not sure what's going on... whether it's poor quality control and a bad batch or if they found someone to make their tape for less or what. (I saw one review on another site from someone in Michigan on another site who had the same problem.) Anyway, I'm not going to waste my time with this company's self-adhesive products again.
