Can you use this Flex seal too caulk around your window frames? (more like a insulation)?, or stop a small draft creeping thru your window pane?

I'm sure you can. I have a waterwheel and trough. I sealed the trough, as it was leaking in several places. Even though water runs rapidly down the trough, I've had no leaking now for 2 years. I also used it to seal a leak on my ATV tir rim. The rim had a slight curve and wouldn't hold air. I sealed the sot that was leaking and it worked perfectly.

I have really large windows and the shrink type plastic would not fit, so this was a great option for me. If you have more or less normal size windows and a way to tape the shrink type, I would go with that. This material is nice and thick, but that requires a pretty substantial means of hanging. I made wood strips and nailed it to the outside of my windows. Hope this helps, if not be more specific about the type of window you are wanting to insulate. Be Well.

As these get attached between your windows and frames -- you have to have a tight fit --- I had one blow off going down the freeway --- not sure if the window was totally up

That size door will require 2 roles of insulation. I used Duck Tape brand double sided tape. I did this when it was cold and had to preheat the door with a blow dryer in the places I wanted the tape to stick. My door had small channels and metal bracing so I only had to use the tape to secure one end. Consequently, I only used 1/2 roll of tape. I have been pleased with the product. It does not have the R value of the fiber glass insulation, but I did not want an extra 28 pounds on my door.

If I recall correctly, no, there is no sealant around the door. However, most of the A/C will likely be lost out of the flap itself rather than any sealing issues. Technically, you could put some inexpensive weatherstripping between each plastic half and the door panels in which you are installing it. It works for us in use in the uninsulated door between the main level of the conditioned house and the basement. I assume that you aren't considering using this door in an exterior door. I would choose something more robust and insulated for an exterior door. However, for its intended purpose and price, this is a really nice door and I have had a couple of different brands.

Yes Maryanne, use the clear Flex Seal. Make sure surface is fully dry, and outdoor temp is above 60 deg F.

I used it around my apartment front door and it cut the noise transfer by about 65-70%, which was enough for me. It was a little thick, so for a while I had to pull harder to deadbolt the door. IF you don't have double paned glass windows, I don't think it will work nearly as well for you as it did for me. You might have to use something that covers the glass.

Good morning. We use it for a similar situation, but did not try to adhere it to the glass. We hung the screen from grommets and had great success with that. The weight of the screen itself kept it smooth. Our area was enclosed and we did not have to worry about drafts or movement rippling the screen.

I'd use a silicone caulk as I expect the gaps are too big for this product.

Hi Jane, This is a lovely window film. I've had mine for over a year. And it's still in perfect condition. You asked about wetness. I've had no experience with subjecting this window film to water. You mentioned bubbles. When applying this film, you have to be ABSOLUTELY SURE that it is FLAT up against the window - and THAT is really hard to do. But if you can have someone help you, it would greatly insure a flat fit against the window. If you do all that, I'm fairly certain that the window film will pan out very nicely. It's definitely worth the effort. Annette

What? You intend to cover up the windows or something? If so you probably could, but you would need to leave a few inches of space for air circulation or mold might grow from condensation.

I coated a fiberglass roof, not the seams. I would think a caulk would work better for seams.

While I can't speak to how it performs when applied out in the elements, I have used it to seal all interior areas of several windows that are at least 30+ years old. They are in direct sunlight for most of the day (Pennsylvania, summer) and the caulk has held up just fine. It gets very warm in the heat and cooler during a thunderstorm/at night etc, but I've had no problems with it not staying sealed.

Not a good idea. First it will probably be peeled off by the window's rubber seal. If the shade film does somehow go down inside your car door with the window, it may not come back out!

It's true that it interfere with the upward operation of the window. I was able to sand it a little bit to minimize the interference and I also applied a thin coat of silicone on the window channel and the ventshade channel area, this helped a lot.

Yes, you can do that. I do that. The only thing you sacrifice, and to me it's not much, is that a vacuum seal is actually created when one uses the tape to carefully seal the panel into the window. Removing it every day will probably mean that you won't want to use the tape to "seal" the panel into the window, in which a very slight amount of heat may pass inside. Hardly a big deal, IMHO.

I say no. You would have to use caulking to seal it. Even then the air flow could knock it loose.
