Fantastic Roomba Bumper

Used this as a Roomba bumper. Worked beautifully. No more marks on my furniture. Roomba runs so much quieter. Still fits in the charger. After 30 days minor wear in the foam but if I have to replace a section of $.99 foam every 4 months to save my furniture, I'll do it. Not a problem. I'd be glad too. I like this solution much better than the $20 bumper which is just another version of this foam. I'd rather be able to replace a small worn out piece for a few pennies rather than have to buy a new "bumper" for $20. This Roomba hack was priceless.

helped with sound reduction on a window

omg omg omg! this saved me! I live near a major road and there are loud motorcycles and stuff. I was worried about whether this would work, but putting it along *every* gap/side of my large windows made the road noise almost zero! it's almost too quiet now! (note: the noise was enough to bother me, i'm sensitive, but not like excessively loud. it was medium noise) It really took the noise down when I covered every single gap that could possibly be a gap, like sides of the windows. it's very easy to apply, just press it on. helps with noise/sound reduction, definitely. also pretty easy to use.

Better than expected.

Thing thing will pay for itself within 1 month. It sealed the gap between my door and the jamb. The garage is the weak point of the house where the cold air sneaks through the vertical gap as well as the horizontal gap between the door and the floor. After installation, I placed my hand at the gap and felt no cold air coming through. This product works better than I expected. The adhesive is very strong and will stick firmly.

Very helpful, easy to use!

Perfect! Exactly as described and exactly what I needed! Very easy to use, in minutes I fixed a small gap in my door frame all by myself!

Great Stuff -- But Plan Your Installation Carefully!

Cushion tape insulator-gap filler products are quite common, as you see 'em in dump bins in every hardware store or home improvement center across the nation. This one is DUCK brand "Home Smart - Earth Friendly Weatherstrio Seal 3/4" wide x 3/8" thick x 10 feet long" and it installs a bit differently than you might expect. It's great stuff and has a very thick structure of poly cell foam, with very tiny holes to provide squishiness plus air stoppage. It's of course VERY sticky on one side, so you apply it usually to a fixed location like a window channel so that the movable portion smashes into it and creates that desired air leak stopping effect. The most common insulator tapes are a big roll with a skinny piece of continuous waxed paper that you can peel away at a 90 degree angle after you position the tape in the installation location. Thus you can pull away the tape while pressing down on the foam, and a great, neatly aligned seal is accomplished. THIS product, however, does not install that way. Instead, the waxed paper appears to be "on the wrong side" as you unfurl the tip of the spool to begin your installation. The cushion strip actually peels away from the waxed paper as you start to unfurl the product. So you must guide the entire roll into position on the installation surface, with the result that now you have a cushioned strip stuck to the door/window frame with a piece of thick waxed paper stuck on top of it. After the Duck Weather Seal material is in place, THEN you simply pull off the waxed paper to reveal the non-sticky side of the foam that will contact your door/window. The UPSIDE of this technique is that you don't have a mass of unfurled foam stripping at your feet that could get messy. The CAUTIONARY part of this installation is that the roll itself may get in the way and hinder your ability to lay down a perfectly straight adhesion, especially near the corners. The tape is SUPER sticky and unforgiving, so proceed carefully when you install this product. Once it's in place, I expect it will outlast many of the cheaper, larger-pore foam insulator tapes. If the tape holds true, the foam should not degrade much on its own. It is a VERY lightweight foam, so the weight of itself will not fight against the adhesion of the sticky substance so much.

It fills some gaps created by some of our cats who think they can actually claw through steel doors.

Even though we’ve put in several doors several of our boneheaded cats still think clawing on thwe door actually helps them get in… which it does because we open the door to tell them to stop doing it and hey run in. I gave up and now just stick so of this where they create a gap because it’s so much cheaper than replacing the entire jamb side gasket that slips into the door stop. We also have a number of slider windows where the original seals are worn and putting this down the side where the window slides into the frame has eliminated the drafts. There are lots of sizes of this stuff but I’ve found using the next size up for thickness over the gap size you’re trying to fill works best. I’ve even layered this stuff because it sticks well to itself. I also just filled some gaps where my storm door meets the metal frame and it was a lot easier than trying to bennd the door and/or frame to get a tighter fit since the hot summer sun will likely warp them again. Well worth the price and better than driving 40-miles to a home center.

Works great! No more draft

This worked great at replacing the seal around my front door. The medium size with two rolls was enough for the three edges of the door plus a little left over. Getting the old foam seal off was DIFFICULT! You can try using a hair dryer to heat the adhesive (be sure to move it around so that it does not leave brown burn marks). As it is heating, use something like a credit card to shove between the frame and the tape to loosen the adhesive. I found out the hard way that mine continues at a 90 degree angle into another crack, so I used some needle nose pliers, got a corner up, and pulled as hard as I could. And it finally came off! Make sure that you clean the surface and let it dry before applying the new tape. The seal is easy to install and very easy to cut. I was worried that it might not be thick enough but it was perfect. I cannot feel any drafts coming through the door anymore. Works great! Something I did not think about is the fact that the seal is black, where my frame is beige, so it is rather obvious but only when the door is open. If this matters to you, you may want to find one that is the same color as the door frame.

Works like a dream

I have a door frame with an awkward sized gap and it would let in ALL the cold air as if the door was open to the world. I tried a couple of weather strips at the hardware store but they were too stiff of a material and would not let the door close properly. I had to put my full weight into it and then some. I gave this a shot and I wish I had found it first. It gives when you press on it but bounces right back to fill in any gaps (imagine those orange earplugs). Haven't felt any draft since installing it and I've used it on a drafty window as well with the same great results. Great quantity for the price, too!

No more towels under the doors!

We have a large gap under our front and back doors that door sweeps are pretty useless for. Turns out the old one attached to our front door was the reason the door pops open at odd times, as it was scraping the threshold. I put a strip of these on the bottom of each door while they were closed to make sure they were flush with the side of the threshold and voila!! No more cold air flowing in! We've had negative temps this week and it's definitely warmer - and no more reaching down to pick up and replace the towel when you're coming and going!

Really strong adhesive

I thought the other reviews saying the foam will break before the adhesive does was just people being dramatic but yea it will. You have to be really really carefully how you place this stuff because once glue makes contact with surface its staying there. For my purposes this is perfect and actually helped alot because I needed to cut the foam in some areas, eventually I stopped trying to cut it and just ripped off chunks because the results were more or less the same but ripping the foam off was way easier. If I ever need to remove it I'll just use a solvent.
