Fill Drafty Gaps with Rope Caulk
The Problem
Cold air leaks around old windows. Regular caulk is permanent, not ideal for renters.
The Hack
Peel rope caulk from roll, press into gap around frame. Mold with fingers for snug fit.
Why It Works
Putty-like material conforms to any gap shape and seals against air. Peels off clean in spring.
Pro Tips
- Frost King brand at Walmart ~$3 for 45 feet
- Removes without damaging paint
- Perfect for renters
- One roll seals 5-6 windows
