I have really learned a lot from watching your videos. I started a job at lowes and really struggled answering questions customers had. Your videos are a huge help and I am very thankful, Mr. Hardware.
I came across this video last night while looking for solutions for the drafty windows in the house I'm renting. I had never heard of Rope Caulking and immediately ran out to buy a couple of rolls after watching your video. The kitchen windows got done first. It was quick and easy to do and I can already feel the difference! I will need a few more rolls to get the rest of the house done. Thank you so much for making this video!
Thank you SO VERY much for sharing this video! This is the exact idea & application technique I was searching for to help with winterizing my 58yr old windows. ☺
I use Mortite to seal speakers to their cabinets instead of expensive custom gaskets or tape. Oft times the gaskets will be $20 each. Many speaker system need to be airtight to function in their design. And I have enough Mortite remaining to stop the draft coming through my kitchen bay window. Win win!
Aaaaaaaye! Now I'm excited bc when we did plastic film on our windows they blew down within weeks. If this survives MN winter I'ma give em a 5 star rating
Fantastic help!!! Thank you so much! Was about to pay a door and window contractor to come do weather stripping. But I can do this myself! Can you use this along the vertical sides of a double-hung window, too?
I bet you never thought of this use for rope caulk; I just got new glassess; its' summer... they keep slipping off my nose; I took a very small pill of caulk stuck ir on the nose pieces; ta- da! No more slipping! 🤓
In my home some bead board was installed , however it was installed incorrectly. It was supposed to be suspend 1/2 inch off the floor, but was installed sitting in the floor. That means I will have trouble, if I mop around the base boards. I want to know if I can put down this rope caulk, as a sealer & then remove the rope caulk, when the deep cleaning is complete. Thanks
So,I bought this stuff for my front door. I can see this is not the stuff for that, but very cool and I'm keeping it for my windows. Can I have a suggestion for my front door? Many thanks!
This self adhesive seal is easy. Be sure to wipe the door frame w/a damp cloth so the surface is clean. It’s v-seal. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K1rmuzrxCnI.html
@@MrHardware1 hey! This is terrific! Going down to our hardware store for it, right now. Somehow, it's 54° in South Dakota on November 1st, but because of that, I'll be ready in time for the cold, this year! Many thanks for the help. Can't wait to get this in and be ready to stop that draft in our front door! How kind of you to help me with this!
You make and look like it’s easy. I’m 67, recently lost my hubby of 47 years. I’ve already put a drill bit through my finger out the other side, sliced by finger open with a box cutter, had to get the base of my finger injected (trigger finger) fell off a 2 step ladder twice plus a bunch of other boo boos and mistakes. How do you get it to stick in one place as your putting it on. I don’t have the strength to push it down hard. Can I use a putty knife or gorilla glue? It’s for the baseball windows which were never opened in over 44 years and I don’t plan on opening them. I don’t know if you know this answer but the lever to flush the toilet works hard, you have to really push it down. Thanks
Use all purpose squeeze caulk to seal the windows. A fresh tube will squeeze out easier than toothpaste. The flush valve gasket in your toilet is getting old and it becomes sticky. Take a picture of it to a reputable hardware or plumbing supply and get the replacement and hopefully a lesson on changing.
@@MrHardware1 I got the hang of putting the rope caulk in. I watched a video of hard lever flush, I changed the “gasket” and the the toilet flushes nice. I got rid of the old fluorescent light in the “workshop” area and put an LED work light in. Oh getting a 4 step ladder today helped tremendously. So far I fell off a 12 foot ladder, twice off a 2 step, now I’m ready to fall off the 4 step. Thanks for your advice and help.
I live on Maui. Will this stop BUGS getting in around gaps where screens rest against window frame. The screens are held in place with 4 little wing nut looking things. Will bugs ( island roaches and centipedes! and scorpions ) will they EAT or CHEW through this product ??? !!! ???
Wow, trick question for Mr. Hardware. I believe some bugs, wasps and bees, can and will eat through dried caulking to form a nest... however I bet the rope caulk will stop most of them. If there is no crevice to hide in they will move on.
What will help with noise from the traffic I live in apartments next to the street and you can here everything like if the window was open! I told the manager about this she said they are double panel but its annoying and very hard to sleep in
