Dap 18354 Seal 'N Peel Removable Caulk, 10.1-Ounce

We are hopefully, finally replacing an old patio door this year. It is a wooden, and has warped after decades, leaving a real gap along the side- not good for Vermont winters!This product has worked really well, and I have used it the past 3 winters. It does an excellent job sealing the door- a swinging, 'french style'- not a sliding door. No drafts what so ever, and instantly keeps the room warmer. The gap is wider that recommended for use with this caulk in some places. But by going back over it more than once where needed, using multiple layers I am able to form a good seal. It does smell a little, but it isn't bad at all, and not a problem for us. Of course, we can't use that door for the winter then! But that's OK.Also, it removes easily enough in the spring, which besides sealing it up to begin with, is the whole point! After again using it multiple years, after a few winter months it has always peeled off nicely, and not stuck or left residue, etc.Highly recommended, it you need this sort of thing. Looking forward to not needing to next year, following replacing many old windows and this door- but this was sure less expensive, and worded while we needed it.

Works great to seal windows in the winter! We have older wooden windows, this prevents the air from coming in during the winter. Then in the spring, it peels off easily. You cannot seal all of your windows at once, because there is a smell that will become very strong if you apply too much at once. However it is nice because it is not noticeable.

works and will use again

At first this seemed to be exactly what I needed: a removable temporary caulk. But right after I started applying it I noticed a very nasty chemical smell. Then I found in small print on the label:"DANGER! Contains hydrotreated kerosene and toluene. Vapor harmful. May affect the brain and nervous system... Avoid breathing vapors. Use only with adequate ventilation."Indeed! Those are nasty chemicals.If the listing had been honest and told customers about the danger of using this product, especially indoors, then customers could make an informed decision to buy or not buy this product. The listing doesn't mention this at all.Not only that, but if you do buy it and then realize that you cannot use it, you can't return it either. Amazon refuses to accept returns of this product because - you guessed it - it's hazardous!

Must have product for drafty old homes. Always does the trick and comes clean off when I need it to.

Ok key thing is that there are (or where) two versions of this product... a regular version that has been available for years and is still available and a low-odor latex version which was available for one or two years and has been discontinued. The regular versions works wonderfully except that, as some reviewers point out, on the day of application it smells bad (kind of like model glue from when you were a kid). That smell goes away. I have used this for a dozen winters on the window in our master bedroom for about four months each year and the smell has always gone away very quickly (one or two days). My wife is very sensitive to smells and she has never had a problem with it once it has fully cured. The low-odor latex stuff is no longer being made and should not be used if you somehow end up with a tube of it. I have never been unlucky enough to receive any but I researched it once I saw all the bad reviews popping up for this product which had previously worked great for me. My understanding is that the problem is that if the latex stuff is not absolutely 'fresh' when applied it dries hard and can not be removed without damaging paint. If it has been sitting in a warehouse waiting for someone to order a tube over the internet then it is generally not 'fresh'. You should be able to tell the difference between the regular and latex versions of this product because (1) the latex version will be labeled as "low-odor... latex formula" on the tube (2) the latex version will not smell like 'model glue' and (3) the latex version will come out of the tube white and dry clear whereas the original formula comes out clear and dries clear. If your tube matches any of the above criteria do not use it.

I used the product to seal between wood framed vinyl storm windows on my screened in porch. A little difficult to flow out of container but seems to do the job of sealing the small gaps.

I use it to seal the side fins of the window air conditioners to the window frame. Works great and peels off easily at the end of the summer. It’s on 4-6 months and doesn’t damage trim paint. I’ve used it about 12-15 years now.
