Frost King V25WA D-Section Rubber Self-Stick Weatherseal Tape, 5/16" W, 1/4" T, 17 ft L, White

I tried to buy Andersen bottom rail weatherstrip from an authorized dealer only to have that go badly. The Andersen web site did not have any in white. So I decided to try this as it appears to match the dimensions of the Andersen weatherstrip. This works beautifully, is very easy to use and after watching Andersen's how-to video, I realized that I would not have to use a separately purchased adhesive to do the job! Ensure that the bottom channel is clean, cut to size, press in and you're done. Excellent product for the job.

I know that is an odd title for a review, but it is true - Firstly, the actual weather strip is REALLY good quality, I have no problems with it at all.My problems are more to do with the door frame. It is an internal door in an apartment block, so I never anticipated problems with the wood expanding and contracting like on an external door exposed to the weather does. However there was a 1/4" gap all around the door, so I applied it according to the good instructions that came with it. All was well for two days and then the weather changed. Suddenly I could not close the door. Looking closely, the gap was almost non-existent now. The weather strip is very soft and squishy, but not enough that it can be squashed completely flat. That tiny bit of resistance, multiplied by the perimeter of the whole door, is more than enough to stop it being closed even when slammed very heavily. First I took the strip off the side of the frame with the hinges and it still would not close. So I took it off the top of the door frame and although slightly better again, it was still so bad that if I could have closed the door, I would not have been able to get back in again. Finally I had to take it all off and throw it away.So the strip is really good quality, but it just did not work for me. The door itself is a steel door, so it must be the frame itself that is expanding and contracting. You might want to think again about using any strip like this if you have wooden doors and/or frames. There might not be much you can do if you have wooden ones, as it seems even the slight pressure needed from any weather or draught-proofing strip to get a good seal, can be more than enough to stop the door closing when the wood swells again.Rather than admit complete defeat, I used an old tick I learned many years ago. I waited until the gap was very small indeed than put a thick bead of bathroom sealant around the inside of the frame, where the front edges of the door fit into. I then covered it with a layer of plastic film that clings to itself for food, so the door would not stick to the sealant and slammed it closed for the night. The following day I opened the door and carefully peeled the plastic film off the sealant, and left the door slightly open for a while until the sealant was properly dry.Now I have a door that fits reasonably well in damp weather, but still has a small gap when the building's heating is on. It is not perfect, but it is the best solution I have been able to find when the frame swells and shrinks so much.If you have all metal doors and frames, I have no doubt this weather strip will be excellent for that. Follow the instructions and use isopropanol for cleaning the frame thoroughly - Do not use something like nail polish remover, or surgical spirit, as they contain oils that are trying to moisturizing the skin/nail and make them nasty to drink. In this case you are trying to remove all oil and grease from the frame to get a good adhesion, so plain isopropanol is great.To make it long-lasting, I first tore the strip in half lengthwise - You are meant to do that! They supply it half the length, but twice as wide as you are expecting. It tears easily and accurately in half. When you are ready to apply it, peel the backing paper off and try not to touch the adhesive if you can possibly help it, it will make a big difference. The temptation when you are applying it is to rub it down in to place like tape, but DON"T do that. You are stretching it and it will come off again quite soon. I "dabbed" it into place rather than rubbing it. You don't have to press very hard, as closing the door will press it all into place quite firmly when you have finished.When stripping does come off, it is usually at the ends or joins. So I used a "super" or "crazy" type cyanoacrylate glue to glue down the ends of the strips and glue the joins together. I put some small pieces of polythene (cut from a bag that was handy) over the glue to stop the door sticking and left it overnight. In the morning I peeled the polythene off (it comes off quite easily) and left the door open for about 30 minutes to make sure the glue was really set before closing it and it worked perfectly, at least until the door frame swelled on me.

Fits perfectly on my BMX 52 cooler lid. I didn't peel off the adhesive, but may at some point. I used the 5/16" W, 1/4" size, and it was great!

Works good

This is some heavy duty weather strip. Replaced some 5+yr old foam strip that had mostly come off the garage door. This is definitely a lot more durable and I'm sure it'll last longer, although I did have some issues with it sticking on one side. You need to make sure the frame you're applying it to is COMPLETELY clean. Any residue left on it, rough wood, etc, will prevent this from sticking so well. I had to scrape mine thoroughly with a razor to get all the foam adhesive/residue off first.The only issue I have with this is it doesn't compress as well as I'd like. It's obviously meant to fill larger gaps, they probably could've had the same effect with thinner rubber and a larger center hole, which would've let this compress more. The largest part of my gap is on the side where my door handle is, in fact it's so large at one point that I can still feel a slight chill breeze through an air gap between this and my door probably 1/16th an inch big. However, this compresses so poorly that I can barely shut and latch my door on that side. I have electric locks that used to be able to lock themselves, just as if i shut the door i can with one hand lock the door. With this I have to pull/push with a fair amount of my body weight - just to get the latch to engage. The top of the door I went with some foam weather strip because it compresses down to nothing and works almost as well (tried this initially and did not work well).To be honest this was a quick fix for a large issue we had in the middle of the winter with one of our doors. This spring I intend to rip off the door jam piece of wood (looks like the doors been busted in before, I couldn't get that piece of wood off without breaking - which is why I went this route) and cut a new piece of wood thats straight and fits up against the door a lot more snugly. Will probably still apply some foam strip after that, but it probably wont be necessary if it fits well. To be honest if you have a large enough gap you're considering this or the thicker version - you might want to consider fixing the door frame/jam to make it more snug against your door to begin with.Another decent use for this is windows. The latching problem isn't as bad on a window I've found. I have fairly new windows a few had their stock weather seal on the bottom coming off. This worked great in the center channel on the bottom and really helped seal them up well. I might consider purchasing more of these to replace on all of my windows.

Wouldn't hesitate to buy again

Got two packs for my Plano sportsman's cases. Brand new cases I cleaned with alcohol and dried. One of the packs wasn't quite as sticky as the other it seemed and didn't stick as well. I'd still buy again.

I use this stuff for all kinds of applications. It sticks very well to pretty much anything. It’s easily ripped into a single strip if the double isn’t needed.

Lo utilice para sellar mejor mi tapa de cisterna, y como ya lleva más de un año teniéndolo a sido de buena calidad, dada la humedad que tiene la tapa y que sella bastante bien el paso de otros líquidos o basura

Seems like its good quality foam. Its actually a little thick. When my garage door is moving close to the closed position, it's causing too much friction and slowed down the garage opener. But so far its still working. The important thing is, its cheaper than the one I can get at Home depot with the same size and quality.

Sella los espacios entre las ventanas y puertas y tiene bien pegamento

Used for replacing a sponge bar in SK120 knitting machine. Had to take the needle bed apart, remove current sponge bar and tuck this in. Did a great job for a nearly impossible to replace part.

Excellent 👌
