Winterizing Windows

re: solid brick home walls bring in cold Post By allyson coco (Guest Post) (10/25/2005) how can i insulate the interior outside walls that are solid brick. My home is a 100year old brick twin and the walls are plastered but the outside walls are solid brick behind the plaster and the walls get really cold in the winter. Is there anything I can do to insulate the wall apart from putting drywall over the plaster??? RE: Winterizing Windows Post By Lee Smithson (Guest Post) (09/19/2005) The very BEST way to keep air out of leaky windows is to use a truly incredible product made by DAP, called "Seal and Peel." It used to be called "Removable Caulk." It comes in a caulking tube so you must use a caulking gun to extrude it. It comes out of the tube as a clear, wet, thick viscous material . Itt cures to a clear rubbery material overnight. I recommend a good caulking gun made in England that costs about $25 that is worth the price if you have a large number of windows to caulk. A cheap $3 caulking gun will do if you just have a few windows. "Peel and Seal" cures CLEAR . You can barely see it after it is installed. It can stay in permanently OR you can "peel" it off when you want, next summer or 5 years from now! It is quite rubbery after is cures and it comes off in a long strip, by pulling it off with your fingers after disengaging a small piece that you can pull. If everyone used this product, replacement windows would become obsolete!! I have gone through 30 or 40 tubes of this marvelous product in the past 10 years! In Ohio, I get it at Meijers. You may find it at a hardware store or a home improvement store but I was at Home Depot a few days ago and they don't have it. If you can't find it contact DAP for a source. Lee Smithson OHIO
