My frameless windows seem to stick to the seals. Will this help? and can you spray on a rag then apply versus making a big mess by spraying directly?

I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals. It comes in a small container and can be purchased at a local hardware store such as ACE. I would apply it with a finger, let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe it off. This product may help, but using a rag instead of your finger will spread it around more. I use the silicone grease to coat the seals on the outside compartments to keep them from sticking as well. This is a great seal protector and lubricant, but when used with a rag, it's hard to control where it goes. I do use it on a rag for doing the back side of the seal which is in contact on opening the slide. Hope this was helpful. I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals.

I would go with the microfiber towels on the windows! Never used the pads on any glass!

I didn't get any instructions with mine either, but I would say, wash your window and squeegee it on... We haven't put ours on the window yet... Wish I could tell you exactly how too... Enjoy it when you get it on :-)

They peeled off fairly easily by hand for me. They didn't take any paint off or anything like that. Of course there's no guarantee you won't lose a little paint and have to touch up, but the cling was stronger than regular vinyl clings for windows yet not as strong as masking tape.

I took the care to have clean hands and a clean auto, took my time and it worked just fine. Should you decide to remove it, I'm pretty sure some wd40 or some denatured alcohol would cut the adhesive but I've not tried that since my results were good.

Well, yes, but why would you? the decals work on their own. I bought one package of decals and one bottle of the paint. I put a decal on each window and then dotted the paint on the windows every 8 inches or so. Was very effective last summer but the paint has faded/washed off and I've already had a casualty this spring, so will be making sure that the windows get washed and then reapply paint and decals this weekend.

Use a wax remover or good wood cleaner first and perhaps rough the surface with scotch bright then it will stick and seal. This is the best wood coating I have ever used and I think you will like the results also. Good luck, Old Nick.

I applied mine to a frameless canvass and used a little bit of spray adhesive for extra hold and it worked great

It absolutely will if you apply it prior to rain. I have single paned 1920's windows with gaps at every angle, but also where the rope and pulley insert (man does that blow in wind like no other).I recommend cleaning the area well, let it try 100% and even using a hair dryer or heat to improve the initial adhesion process. Perhaps use the tape on interior and exterior to prevent rust or wood breakdown in the hinge area. I have had it applied for 2 seasons now going into my 3rd and its holding up just fine. Basically invisible is a nice feature. This product in addition to window wraps has saved my about $200 a month in cold months, and $350 during freeze months.... best money I have ever spent online!

I used Eternabond 4" roof seal tape, with the spray primer, around all of my vents, skylights, roof edge seams and a couple of small cracks in the rubber roof covering (that may be the lap sealant you're referring to). Then after cleaning the roof I just painted right up to the edge of the roof seal tape. I didn't paint the vents, etc.

It depends what kind of paint there is,if it is oil based paint witch is usually on the window frames it shouldn't come of ,if it is latex paint I wouldn't recommend sticking this tape to it,about residue I didn't have any from last year(I used on oil based paint)the whole thing came of in one piece.sorry if my English is not perfect,its not my first language.ps.if you going to spend money on this type of window insulation get frostking it's much better.

It'll be up to you to make sure that you fit it snugly to your window opening - some weather-sealing foam tape is provided but to get a really good seal you'd probably want to pick up an extra roll. The unit itself seems like it's got some airflow to the outside, but not as much as other units I've used - if you're really concerned you can also pick up a cover for the inside or outside of the unit that can be fitted when you're not using it.

If you install it properly and don't rush through it will. Make sure you don't clean the area with windex prior to applying this film or it will counteract and fall off and not stick. Then you want to use the application kit spray (can be ordered on amazon).. then you just spray that up in the window and take a squeegee with the film and apply. I found out since I have 2 skylights I rushed the second one and it fell down but the first window stayed up perfectly. Just don't rush the job and use the application kit bottle. However, my skylights are leaking so now I'm getting them removed from my roof. I've HAD it with skylights.

I cleaned my aluminum RV roof with a broom and some light household cleaning fluid, and let it dry. I installed my Peel n Seal roof in 2010, and it's still looking brand new. Seams are sticking perfectly, and no leaks most importantly. I applied min in October when it was a bit chilly, so I used a heat gun to help melt the adhesive when I rolled it over the roof edge to ensure a good seal. I'm glad I did, as it's held up incredibly well.

The film does not have adhesive, it clings to the window (static, I think). After you measure & clean your windows, cut the film w/a sharp blade to the exact dimensions if your window. Spray the solution (water mixed w/a small amount of non scented dish soap-not handsoap) liberally on the window & on the side of the film that will go on the window. The spray allows you to easily move the film into place. Once in place, squeegee the film from the center outward to remove air bubbles.

I have super glued the black ones to my frame.. I trimmed the wrap around section off. Barely apply maybe 1/2 drop on each pad but not to the frame and apply exactly where you want pad. Don't slide pad around, hold for few minutes... stays well

DO NOT APPLY ON A HOT WINDOW....First clean the window completely with window cleaner NOT the solution. Then spray the window with the solution, use lots it will dry up. Then slowly apply the window film from top down (it helps to have someone hold the film off the window as you apply it) Then use the squeege to push the bubbles to the side and down to the bottom.
