Can this be used on outer house window rubber seals to protect from weather (drying out)?

I would surely think so. It can be used in so many applications around your home or garage. I use it on my exercise machine which loves to squeak loudly every few weeks. It keeps it quiet for a long stretch of time. I love the stuff.

I have used this on external rubber seals on cars, and it works well as a moisture barrier. I assume it will work just as well for home window seals.

I used it on my car's door seals and it did not last long, but this may be because those seals were already dry and needed second pass. In my opinion this should work fine for you, but you still need to apply it from time to time. If you want longer effect you may want to look for something denser.

I don't see any reason why it should not, the adhesive quality of the laminate is very high, however, me personally I would not apply it to windows where direct sunlight and heat in the summer time may present a problem and degrade the product.

Best results with Micro-seal are always obtained when the surface is dry and there has been no rain for 48 hours. It will still work if the surface is damp BUT it will not absorb as much Micro-seal and therefore you will NOT get as good performance as you would with a dry surface. Recommend you wait.....

It should work if the seals don't really need replacement. I'm using it to maintain the rubber seal on the panoramic sunroof of my Veloster. I'm hoping it will withstand the Texas sun.

I'm not sure how it would work for that. I use it around the doors on my car to keep moisture from freezing and it lasts a little over a year for that.

no i dont think so .it doesnt do well on anything ..u probably need to rework the exterior with an engineered process designed to water proof materials

I used it to seal cracks on my driveway and it has stood up to the elements for at least five years. I think that if you prep the area and apply an even coat that it would hold. It stays rubbery when dry. You may want to try it on a small obscure spot first.

Tip--Put your choice of rubber dressing (Armor All, 303, etc.) on the rubber window strips before applying any wax, sealant, etc. The sealant you slop onto the rubber won't stick as much and be easier to wipe off.

As far as I know as long as you wipe the surface down with alcohol (where you will be placing the double sided tape) allowing it to dry I don't think the temperature will affect installation - the tape adheres well to any surface I have tried so far. The plastic is used to cover the interior side of windows; not outside of the window. I have also discovered it is best to place clear packing tape across the bottom part of plastic - on the underside of window sill - BEFORE shrinking with blow dryer. It helps to prevent plastic from pulling upward and eventually making it's way off window.

No, don't use this for window insulation. This is garage door insulation, and has an "aluminum" coating for reflecting energy. The texture is similar to bubble wrap, and as others have pointed out, you will not be able to see out of your windows.A better choice would be to look at the 3M clear window insulation kits.

It worked wonder for me. The rubber weather seal around the car windows were rough and discolored (looked faded gray-white-ish). I cleaned all the dirt with Meguiar's D10101 All Purpose Cleaner (10:1 diluted), then applied heavily 4, 5 coats of this. The weather seal did get soften quite a bit; but the most important thing was that I got rid of that old faded unsightly color, now they look shiny deep black.

Yes. There is a small clip that goes over the top of the window. The window will close completely and keep the seal from letting weather in. You can still roll down the window the window without ruining the shade.

I haven't used it on the interior door seals during the winter...I will tell you a little trick that does work pretty good though - plain old petroleum jelly. Unless it gets super cold, petro jelly works pretty good to keep interior seals from sticking in winter. I use the Gummi Pflege on my exterior window seals and it works great if you work it in. Other protective sprays didn't provide me with an even coat on my car. A lot of the newer cars have went to more of a rubber/silicone compound that is supposed to last longer and not dry out as much - I prefer good ole' fashioned rubber seals. The new stuff seems to be affected more by pollutants in wash water and rain water.

if you use it outdoors, it will have to be taped up to seal, it is not waterproof

I guess you could use it, however you won't be able to see out of the windows. There is a kit you can buy to seal windows and glass doors that would be much cheaper and easier to put up. I'm not sure what it is called but, I used it on my patio door one year and it did block any air coming in. It is a very clear plastic sheet and you put it across the windows and use a Hair Dryer all over it and it shrinks it down to seal it. If you can't find it let me know and I will see if I can ok? Hope this helps a little. Good luck.

It is not water proof, but I use a sealant like petroleum jelly and have had no problems here in FL with moisture. I would think plumber' tape would also work well.

I guess so.. It dries incredibly hard. I use it for wall repairs.. Window sills to even the surface... All I am is a purchaser.. why don't you contact the maker of the product ask them
