Frost King F4 Mortite Caulking Cord 9-1/2-ounce 45-Feet Long, Grey Review

Frost King F4 Mortite Caulking Cord 9-1/2-ounce 45-Feet Long, Grey
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Our windows are very old and drafty and they need to be replaced soon. This is a great temporary solution to fill in all the cracks around the window frame until next spring when we replace all of our windows. We've had near freezing temperatures in the evenings already, and it does a great job eliminating the draft.
This stuff is kind of like of "Play-Dough". The only complaint I have is the when I try to unroll one cord at a time, it breaks off. I was trying to keep the installation as "clean" looking as possible, but that's difficult to do when you are using a "band-aid" solution like this.
UPDATE 12/22/10
Even after several weeks of very dry air (20-30%), this caulking cord is still as pliable as the day I opened the package.

This product is essential for keeping cold/hot air infiltrating your home. I am using it in a very old house and it is helping with the heating bills.
In the summer it will help keep the hot air out.
Great product, spend a little, save a lot!

Average Reviews:

I've been purchasing frost king P/U foam tape for quite a while. The need arose for white foam tape, and frost king delivers another great product. Easy to use, backing peels just fine, sticks to wood, melamine, plastic, and latex paint with no issues, and is as white as you can get with foam (you can see through it a little, but when put on white surfaces or near white things, it matches just fine). I would recommend this tape to anyone who needs a weather seal need fulfilled.

Strip sticks to glass (and spreads over its surface) not to the frame. It is very soft, but could not be deformed to fit and stay in the gap between two window frames. We are very disappointed.

I know this is weatherstripping, but that's not what I bought it for.
I bought it to pad certain edges of furniture in the garage so that if I open a car door into the furniture it does not damage the paint on the car. I needed something thick enough to cushion the blow, and with good enough adhesive to stick to unfinished lumber.
So far, this product has performed admirably on all counts, it has stayed attached where I put it, and has successfully protected my vehicles from paint dings.

MD Building Products 4283 Shrink & Seal Indoor Window Kits Review

MD Building Products 4283 Shrink and Seal Indoor Window Kits
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have a basement family room that was very drafty and cold. You could actually feel the cold coming off of the windows even with the blinds and curtains. In order to be comfortable we would have to turn the heat up to 75. We can't afford to replace the sliding door and windows right now so I found this at a local home improvement store and thought for less then $10 I'll give it a try.
It took me an hour to put up by myself. I highly recommend 2 people if possible. The directions on the box are easy to follow and are accurate in my opinion. Clean the entire door and frame thoroughly and make sure it's dry. Doing that will help the adhesive tape stick. You may have issues installing this if it is really cold too. The directions recommend about 40F I think. Don't rush when applying the plastic to the tape. Start in one corner and work over from there. It was easier for me to do the left side of the sliding door first then the right. The plastic doesn't have to be very tight across the door. When you heat it the excess will go away. If the plastic comes off the tape just press it back on. It's not supposed to stick too much right away just in case you need to adjust the plastic. When you start heating it, the adhesive will activate. Don't forget to keep an extra 2 inches of shrink past the tape. I guess you can figure out why...it shrinks. The directions said to hold the blow dryer a few inches from the plastic. My blow dryer must be extra hot because it was about 4 inches away and it made a hole in the top of the door. That being said, it may be a good idea to start further away and at the top just in case this happens to you. Don't hold the blow dryer on one spot for too long either. Once you start you'll realize it goes pretty quickly. The taping process took much longer then the actual shrinking. Also, if the plastic gets little wrinkles as you're shrinking, just go back over that spot and it will go away.
The plastic looks clear and you can't tell it's there unless you are up close to the door. We have 2 cats and 2 kids and it's been on for a month without any major issues. My oldest ripped it a little at the door handle so I had to patch it with the leftover shrink. I gave this 4 stars because I think the tape could have been a little better. Also, we cannot use our sliding door. I honestly didn't think about it until after it was on. There may be a way to put it on and still use it but we have other doors. I'll trade not using the door for a warmer family room and cheaper electric bill. I plan on using this again next year. I am going back to get the window kit. We are much more comfortable now and don't have to wear 5 layers just to watch TV.(smile) I recommend trying this product for those cold winter months.

Warp Brothers SK-54 Shrink Film Window Kit Review

Warp Brothers SK-54 Shrink Film Window Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I can safely say that I no longer fear death after my experience with Warp Brothers SK-38 18' Shrink-It Window Insulation Kit. I ordered two of these to seal off the drafty windows in my bedroom. Upon arrival, one of the plastic insulation sheets was ripped and the other one was so tightly clung by its folds that it ripped as we unfolded it. So much for a tight seal on the window.
Despite the rip, we were able to use one of the sheets over the window. The tape that comes with the kit (the kit, by the way, is a piece of saran wrap and some double-sided tape. But I knew that before buying it) didn't stick to our window so I had to heat it first. Then it was so sticky that I couldn't get the backing off. Eventually, though, I got the plastic in place and started to hair-dry the thing. Amazingly, it formed a really tight seal and effectively shrink-wrapped our window. We were impressed by that. We were not impressed by its ability to keep out the cold, however, as we immediately felt a draft again even with the plastic properly in place. While your milage may vary, the only increased warmth I felt was the searing rage I began to feel towards the Warp Brothers.
Buy this item if you think shrink-wrapping your window might be fun. If you want the room to be warmer, buy a space heater.

I bought this product to help with a large, drafty window. This product seemed easy to install and went up quickly. The plastic does seem thin and I first thought this would not be effective, but the window film made a huge difference in the room it was used. The directions were simple to follow and the window film does not distract from the normal appearance of the window when installed.
