Product Description
Duck Brand Heavy-Duty Weatherstrip Seal is a self-adhesive, durable closed-cell EPDM rubber sealing product. It seals cracks and gaps around windows and doors can cause drafts to come into your home, leading to high heating and cooling costs. Comes in different gap sizes and is applied to the door or window frame. Self-Adhesive Duck Heavy-Duty Weatherstrip Seals are made with durable and flexible material, allowing them to stand up against extreme temperatures that cause other seals to freeze or crack. They are a great solution for replacing an old or worn door and window seals, forming a barrier against the outdoor air, as well as dust, pollen, and insects during the warmer months. Use together with other Duck® Brand weatherization products to make your home more comfortable and energy-efficient all year long. Country of Origin: United States.

QUESTION: Can I add 2 layers?
ANSWER: Thank you for your question! You could add layers side by side; however, not on top of each other. If you need a thicker seal, we recommend our extra large gap seal.

QUESTION: What temperature is the best to get it to stick the best ?
ANSWER: Thank you for your question! To ensure proper adhesion, the weatherstrip seal should be applied at temperatures above 50°F. If it is below 50°, you could warm the surface with a hair dryer before installing the weatherstrip seal.

hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
