Answer This Question

A:  Thank you for reaching out. The use of household cleaners or a degreaser would work to remove this foam tape from the door. The use of heat from a hairdryer will work as well. Thanks

    A:  Yes, it could be used for that.

      A:  if the vent can be 'pulled' back in to create pressure on the foam tape, it's probably ok. If that's not practical, I'd want to use ordinary window and door caulking -- just squirt enough in to close up the gaps and let it harden there.

      by|Jul 3, 2023

        A:  I think it might be able to be used in that way, but it might be a little narrow for your purposes. The adhesive seems to stick pretty well, so maybe if you wrapped the tape around the vent hose 2 or 3 times, lining the edges of the tape close together (not on top of each other), it might work the way you want.

        by|May 3, 2020

          A:  No.

            A:  most exterior door frames are built with a slot that is intended to accept the edge of rubber weatherseal. This is a far superior method of sealing the door and, if at all possible, should be used instead of any glue on product. Just pull off a bit of the non-functioning current weatherseal and look online for replacement product. When it comes, talk to the salesguy in the doors department about how to install it -- it's a bit difficult because it is intended to never be removed.

                A:  Yes, both are interchangeable.

                by|Jul 16, 2019

                  A:  I would not recommend this product for a door as it did not work well for me. The non-sticky side ended up sticking to the door and came off the door frame in 1 day when I opened the door. The same day I opened and closed the door many times and it stayed in place so I knew I installed it good but the next day it stuck to the door and peeled off when I opened the door.

                      Used it to seal a cooktop. Worked great!
                      After looking for a replacement gasket from the cooktop manufacturer and realizing that it was stupid expensive($40+), I started looking for alternatives. This window seal is working great! I was dubious at first because my countertop and cooktop are dark gray/black and the seal is light gray. I could definitely see it and it wasn’t cosmetically pleasing at first. After a couple days it fully compressed. It’s invisible and my cooktop doesn’t budge.

                        I ordered the M-D Building Products 3/8 in. X 17 ft. Foam Weatherstrip because I am making face shields for healthcare workers dealing with the Covid-19 virus. I am doing this with a group of volunteers, and we are supplying both masks and face shields. The Weatherstrip works beautifully as the first layer of cushioning because the adhesive side of the tape is very easy to apply to an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of transparency film. The next layer applied is another product I bought from Home Depot: M-D Air Conditioner Weatherseal. Using double-sided adhesive tape, I attach a layer of the 1 1/4" thick foam to the weatherstripping. A 1" band of elastic is attached to go around the back of the head. The weatherstripping and the foam make a nice cushion for the healthcare workers' skin while protecting their eyes and face from contaminants they might be exposed to. The hospitals and groups we have donated to have really appreciated them, especially when some of the protective gear is so hard to get. Please see the attached photo to see the finished face shield.

                        I applied this for 2 doors (the door frames). The next day when I opened they doors a good part of the foam came off the door frame and stuck to the doors. When I peeled it off the doors part of the foam film stuck to the doors and ruined the door finishes. The doors were painted 3 years ago so the foam (non-sticky side) should not have stuck to the 2 doors. Also I applied the Foam sticky side to the door frames and went up and down pushing the foam inch by inch with my finger to make sure it adhered good to the door frames. This product worked terrible on 2 doors (coming off when I opened the doors a day later).

                          The Worst Ever
                          I use weather stripping every day for my company. Upon receiving 2 rolls the paper backing was all the way detached from the foam furthermore the adhesive is useless in any weather under 45 degrease. I originally ordered Frost King but Home Depot bait & switched sending me 2 packages of this for home delivery. Run as fast as you can from this substandard weather stripping. Remember this review if you buy it.

                                Did not lay down and stick easily. I had to scrap the hinge side of the strip.

                                  The stripping seems to work well. I had air coming through a spot around my front door and one piece helped tremendously

                                    Would be better if it were stickier. Used it on enamel painted windows and the foam (not the sticky side) stuck hard to the window and pulled it off the frame.
