    Winter must have
    Kudos to the employee that recommended I insulate from the outside in. Skeptical to say the least. However, this more than meets my expectations. 3M keeps my house nice and toasty never a draft.

        Tape doesn’t stick/peel
        Pretty poor product. Tape did not fully stick and even if I was able to get it into position, the backing won’t peel off. Ended up throwing the whole thing away after an hour on one window.

          great product but throw out the instructions
          installed 3 of these today. I am only 5 ft. tall and worked alone so these instructions did not work well. once I figured out how to do it logically, it was a snap. The secret is take your time. tape the top only first and let the material relax into place. Then go back and tape the other sides. let that settle down a bit. then hit it with the blow dryer.

            Bad Tape! Won't peel properly.
            Just bought this after using 3m kits for years on our windows. The tape is bad. It shreads and wont peel properly. I cant even get a single window done.

              3M window film
              What happened to this product. Spent 1 1/2 hrs trying to attach tape (forget the film) Paper backing rips off in1 inch pieces. the tape is awful. If I could give negative stars, I would.

                The Tape is TERRIBLE in the kits I bought Oct 2021
                The paper back on the double sided tape tears and does not peel properly. I went to the 3M website to complain and found many others were having the same issue with the kits for regular windows. I wish I had read the reviews first! The film is fine.

                  tape has held up very well so far.
                  more than ample for the job. I wish they had a size for a single door though.

                  inexpensive, easy installation, insulates the window from drafts, traps air to keep the cold air out. Is quite clear to see thru. Easy to remove when finished.

                  Double sided tape is too skinny and the adhesive is VERY poor. Tape does not adhere well even after proper preparation of surface area. Not enough tape provided to allow for mistakes or a redo. Definitely a two-man job. The plastic is fine (long enough and heavy enough). The kit is not worth your time and money! I would rate it less than a 1 but there is not option for that.
