Customer Review: Spend a little more and avoid the headaches.
Summary: 1 Stars
I live in Southern California, and while we don't get the freezing temps that other parts of the country have, it's always nice to have a little more insulation.
I bought this to seal up an old, single paned sliding glass door. Out of the box, it doesn't seem like much: just a roll of double-sided tape, some alcohol wipes, and the film. As I started applying the tape, I noticed that it wasn't very tacky. I was a bit cautious as to whether or not it would hold up the film. The instructions say to heat up the tape as you're applying it to increase adhesive performance. I did that, and it helped to increase the tackiness a bit.
However, it starts going down hill from there.
After you stick the film to the tape, you have to use a blow dryer to stretch the film in order to get the wrinkles out. As I was doing that, the film pulled away from the adhesive. I had to keep re-sticking the film to get it to hold. Eventually, I got all the wrinkles out. After a few days, however, the film started to separate again due to the tension of the shrinking. I have to re-stick the film every so often to maintain the seal.
One thing I noticed about this product is that the film is not very clear; at least in some parts. Some parts of the film have this haziness to it that can't be removed. If you need to actually, you know, see through the windows, I suggest you look elsewhere.
I recommend that you go with the 3M/Scotch version of this product. The tape is much tackier and the film is crystal clear.
