Sealing Doors

[XxXBDrockXxX]

I'm having problems sealing my doors I put weather striping on there but it keeps coming off. Is there any other type of seal I can use?

I got tired of the weather strip coming off and epoxied it.... There are other forms of striping that are not peal and stick. You can also look for something that staples on or a heavy duty. Also Auto applications.

I had that problem, too. Be careful not to stretch the weatherstripping at all or the tension will cause it to pull loose. I also went through several brands until I found one that stayed stuck. Unfortunately, I don't remember what brand I finished with. It's an age thing

I used weatherstripping without the glue tape, and used 3M weatherstrip adhesive. That's what they use to hold weatherstrip on cars. Actually the weatherstrip I bought was a 50 foot roll of automobile trunk weatherstipping,

parnold was the stuff you used the adhesive that is kind of a snot yellow color, and is kind of stringy like hot cheese?

If so that stuff is great. Works good for gluing leather together also.

3M Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive. Part # 08001.

Yes it is yellow, and when you're spreading it, it is sort of like melted velveeta cheese in it's consistency.

If you have only got a small gap to seal, Run a bead of silicon sealer around the door, with the bead slightly bigger than the gap. Smear a bit of oil on the door jamb surface, or cover the jamb with some food clingfilm and oil that. So the silicon doesnt stick to the jamb
Close the door, and the squashed silicon will make a perfectly profiled seal. Open it again and remove the film
Now leave to dry
