Weatherstripping is an easy way to block cold or hot air from entering the home around doors, windows and electrical plates.
Step 3: Apply the weatherstripping Prepare the jamb or sill by cleaning it thoroughly. In order for weatherstripping to stick, the surface must be clean and dry. It is also best to apply the weatherstripping on a day when the temperature is above 50 degrees. Cut the weatherstripping to the proper length and peel the paper backing away. Apply weatherstrip directly to the surface. Note that the paper does not cover the adhesive side of the weatherstripping; it covers the face of the tape and prevents the adhesive side from sticking to it while it is rolled up. Peel-and-stick weatherstripping is easy to cut and apply.
