Prazi USA PR9000 Putty Chaser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was excited when I saw this product advertised, and I was equally horrified the first time I used it. I have very old glazing and this product simply would not work. I managed to destroy the first window I tried it on and that was it. There is really no way to effectively practice using this thing, so good luck for you first-timers. I returned mine.

Insulate and Weatherize: Expert Advice from Start to Finish (Build Like A Pro) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Insulating your house is fraught with dangers and there are lots of sharks out there only too delighted to take your money and ruin your house. Although I am still learning this stuff, I'm still confident that I know more than most of the insulation contractors that have come through my door. Scary, isn't it?
The dangers of doing it wrong aren't just a waste of money. There is a real risk of mold in the short term and rot in the long term. Read this book, but let it be your first step. See the Taunton forums at their web page, the Building Sciences Corp web page, and do your homework before you let anyone do anything to your house.
I agree with a previous reviewer that a weakness of this book is its lack of step-by-step guides, and as a complete novice on house construction I had to look elsewhere for some of the terminology. But I'm still giving it 5 stars just because it has so much important information, to counteract all the misinformation and misconceptions out there.

Paint Scraper Clapboard. The Silent Paint Remover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Perfectly designed for old clapboards, this scraper works extremely well, gets the underside of the clapboard above it, and the edges are curved to deal with old uneven wood. We use it with a heat gun to get all the way down to the bare wood. Use in conjunction with the regular triangle blade scraper. Long handle is useful for leverage. May want to buy extra blades if you're working on a big project.

Gila LES361 Heat Control Residential Window Film, Platinum, 36-Inch by 15-Feet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife and I have now installed this film on several windows and two patio doors in our home. In the process, we have messed up a couple of times, but managed to figure out why (see helpful hints below).
I don't know how effective the heat control film is at keeping out the heat. Only time will tell.
But here are three recommendations for "frustration free" installation:
1) ALWAYS have someone helping you. Don't even think about instalilng this without at least two people.
2) Before peeling the film (very sticky) from the liner, spray both sides generously. This helps cut down on the static electricity, which causes the film to curl and stick to itself--often resulting in ruined film and frustrated installers.

3) Gila does not suggest this, but it worked like a charm with us (after we had messed up, unfortunately). Before you peel the liner from the film, have your helper clip two clothespins to the bottom two corners while you hold the top corners (this will prevent the corners from curling and sticking). As your partner begins to peel the liner from the film (slowly!), have him/her spray the sticky side generously. When there is about an inch of liner left to peel, go ahead and apply the film to the window. Before squeegeeing to the window, remove the clothespins and the last inch or two of liner. If you follow this important step, you should not have problems with the film curling. I don't know why Gila does not suggest this. Maybe they have not thought of it yet.
BTW: I just sprayed regular water on the non-sticky side when squeegeeing the film to the window. I also did this when spraying both sides to ward off static electricity. I did use the Gila stuff, however, on the sticky side of the film and on the window.
