Even works for someone who notices a draught wherever I go.

I am so sensitive to drafts that I can feel cold air in a room with my nose as soon as I enter it. This stuff works amazingly well! Here is what I wish someone would have told me when I was looking to buy this. You do not need vision to apply this. I am totally blind, and I am able to do this without any site at all. It feels like silly putty. All you need to do is press the stuff in the gaps, and the noise and the cold draught go away. This is easier than using plastic on the windows because it does not require the use of tape, a hairdryer, a chair to stand on when you have to reach the high places, or anything else. It requires the ability to use fingertips to press it where you need it, and that's it. If I notice a draught in my house, I am uncomfortable and cannot get anything done. I am extremely sensitive and aware of this. After someone pressure washed my house, I think it might have dislodged a little bit of this at the bottom of my door. There was literally a quarter of an inch that may have come loose. I was distracted by the draft for days until I figured it out. All I had to do was use my finger to push it back in to the area and that was it. It is easy to remove. So if you are renting a house, this is perfect. Just grab hold of it and begin dislodging it from wherever you have it and it will release itself. This is my first review ever, but I actually thought it was important enough because I just used the stuff after owning it for four years, and I still love it today. The coldest it gets is 28 degrees in the winter. But it is 70 degrees outside now, and I still can feel a draught when it comes through the door at the bottom. So it does not matter what temperature it is outside, it matters that I can seal the draught from coming in. I will shiver outside if it is 70 degrees with the slightest bit of wind. This is what I would have wanted to read when I was doing my homework. I hope this helps you too.

Fast and Easy Fix for Cold and Leaky Windows

I moved from cold Iowa to relatively balmy Portland, and I was surprised when I was colder than ever once December set in. I couldn't get the heat in my apartment above 58 degrees fahrenheit, and I was blasting the baseboard heaters and two space heaters. I tried sealing all the windows with another caulking cord branded from my "local hardware store" and found it to be tough, difficult to stick, and it wore my fingers out trying to put it in place. In addition, I still had leaks after 5 hours of trying to seal up 6 windows. I bought this off Amazon and 2 days later I was quickly fixing what the other product lacked. It is much softer but more easy to mold and stick into the cracks that need to be sealed. You can just put up one line or put up half the lines if you have windows like mine that have big gaps. I have the ability to monitor my energy use and now I'm using about a third less energy per day after putting this up. Now it is 70 degrees inside my apartment and I haven't turned the heat on in 2 days. Please note: I buy and pay full price for everything.

Perfect for window drafts!

I purchased this to put around my old drafty window for the winter, and it had honestly cut the breeze coming from it by almost 100%. If you have any problem areas, whether it be windows/doors, I definitely recommend this stuff. When I applied it the window was already rather cold, and the caulking did not want to stick to the metal frame too well. However I got out the hair dryer and ran it over the caulk for about a minute and it made it a lot more workable/moldable. Awesome stuff, I'm sure the cost of this will be nothing compared to how much it saves me this winter.

Great stuff for sealing gaps around old windows.

We have a front porch with 10 ancient wood windows that rattle in the wind and leak lots of air in the winter. This stuff takes a little bit of time to install, but once stuffed around the edges of all the windows (and other places where air whistles through), it does a nice job of keeping in the warm air and keeping out the cold. It is easy to apply -- kind of like soft clay -- and easy to remove come spring time. Choose one, two, or three "ropes" worth of thickness, depending on the size of the gap, and stuff into place. It is also a LOT cheaper than buying new windows. Another huge plus: Does not degas awful fumes like the many removable silicone caulking products on the market. Bottom-line: It's cheap, easy to apply (though it will take a long time if you have many windows!), and easy to remove in the spring. It stays pliable, so you could theoretically reuse it, but it's cheap enough that we just buy a fresh box each year rather than trying to painfully re-roll it and save it. Recommended for keeping out drafts without buying new windows.

Apply now in the Fall!

Last year I found how crappy the windows were in my crappy apartment when I had a spike in my electric bill last winter ($150-200). Window insulating film and space heaters saved my bank account. I decided to try this as an extra layer between me and the cold & bugs that creep through. This will look so much better to cover the cracks and keep the cold out! I would recommend applying this in the fall because it might be difficult (not impossible) if you wait too long. It’s 60F outside and 74F in my apartment so this stuff seems to be easy to work with so far

I love this stuff

I love this stuff! I live in an area with extreme temperatures through the year, as well as high winds. I love the house, but it was built in the fifties and is pretty drafty, which can up the heating and cooling bills quite a bit. I can just apply this stuff over the window seams and it's like a brand new window! I have it on every window and all along the door that leads to the garage (in the gaps where the door doesn't meet the frame well). In spring and fall, I just remove it if I want to open up the windows, and when summer's heat is on, I just reapply - I can reapply it a few times before it loses its tack. I've gone through almost three rolls in two years, but this stuff pays for itself and then some.

A. MAZ. ING.

A. MAZ. ING. Our 50's wooden double hung bow window is SUPER drafty. We don't have the money to replace it right now, so we are weatherproofing to hold us over. Before using this product I put an indoor thermometer by the window. Then I checked it after, it went up 12 DEGREES!!!!!!!! That not only speaks to the horrible quality of our windows, but the amazingness of this product. Our living room already feels so much warmer.

Excellent product. Extremely easy to work with.

This is very easy to apply and works very well for light insulation. Perfect for renters. I'm a novice when it comes to home improvement. This is a perfect solution for old/drafty windows. This particular window used to pour in cold air and now it's adequately insulated for the winter.

I re-ordered this stuff after 30 YEARS because the 10% I had left was a LITTLE dry

Look, I bought this stuff at an independent hardware store in St Robert MO in 1988 , called TapJac before Amazon was even in "gleam in Jeff Bezos's eye. It survived moves to Georgia and 32 years of non-air-tight storage in its card board container. I've used it as a "secret weapon against air and moisture leaks when caulk and foam was not an option. In on- post housing in the US Army with lousy windows it was a godsend to seal air-leaks as it could be removed w/o a trace. When mounting a junction box there's nothing better to seal the hole inside the box where the wires enter/exit. It also makes a darn good gasket for an exterior weather proof junction box if the original tears or goes AWOL. After 32 years and 90% usage it's finally beginning to dry out a bit. It's about $1.50 more expensive now but I threw away the old one and bought a new one. This stuff is like Duct-Tape...indispensable.

Perfectly meets expectations

This works exactly as described. It can sit unprotected in your cabinet for 2 months and be just as pliable as when you opened the package. It stays the same medium grey. If you're fussy about appearances, just try to keep your lines clean and placement subtle, because it's pretty visible by default. Not ugly, but visible. It's like a firm playdo or clay, so you can gently unravel a singular rope (or 3 or whatever you need), break it off, then gently apply and press into cracks. There was no need to wear gloves; I applied directly with my fingertips. If you change your mind or something, just get a hold of a small piece and pull it back out. Obviously put this where you would theoretically use caulking or some other semi-permanent seal. This isn't like a foam strip for helping with gaps in things that open and close, like where the door meets the frame. This is however perfect for cracking where the frame meets the wall. Personally, I suggest getting a few materials to help with different issues (this for cracks, foam strips for door seals, etc). I didn't notice a massive decrease in my heating bills, but I realized the attic in my place has horrible insulation and drafting, so I simply have no reliable data to report on that aspect. I wouldn't personally use this anywhere with large amounts of wear, like in degrading shower tile. It would be great to shove it there until you buy some proper material, but I don't see this as a permanent solution to bigger problems. Sealing drafts from small cracks? This is an ideal product.
