  • That stuff they put on their door is CRAP! Peel and stick products are made for knuckleheads who like to do projects over and over again. I would use a V-strip....although it is peel and stick it is made of vinyl so you can "double attach" with a staple gun. Cheap foam will last 2 years tops........vinyl V-strip will last over 10+years. You decide?

  • thanx for the video, good enought to keep my wife quiet during the cold weather.

  • @bamagym exactly the problem I have. Did you find a solution?

  • i really liked your video. I have 3 doors that need weather stripping.  Can you recommend a brand that works best? thanks^JB

  • Now just some grease for those hinges!

  • dont use closed cell it will cause dor to stick dont use door sweep in will drag on your carpet and damage it

  • what do you do when the door is un-even in the jam? double up on the stripping?

  • Thanks SO much! This works great for our exterior door, as we live in Western Oregon. I feel better about doing this myself, and knowing that I did it right. It seems simple now, but there are remnants of old weatherstripping (kind of covered with paint) in three different places on the doorway, NONE as described here !

    OK, I admit it -- the most recent is mine. :)

  • Great walk through on HOW TO.

    I loved that idea of STICKY weather sealing on the door sweep instead of screws!

    Instead of plastic on the windows this year, I did SEAL& PEAL from DAP.

    It applies like regular caulking but it can be pealed off within 1 year without hurting the paint! It peals off like a long booger! *newly panted apartment!*

    WEAR GLOVES! I smeared it with my finger then my finger went numb for 3 days!

    I applied it EVERYWHERE! I can feel the difference already!

    NO GAPS anymore!
