How should I clean the rubber seal?

What color options are available?

Troubleshooting

Seal not sticking properly

Ensure the application surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from dust or grease. Re-apply pressure along the entire length of the seal. If the adhesive is old, consider replacing the strip.

Gap is too large or too small for the seal

This seal is designed for gaps between 3mm and 7mm. For larger gaps, a different type of draught excluder may be required. For smaller gaps, the seal may still offer some benefit but might not provide a completely airtight closure.

Seal comes loose after a short period

The surface may not have been adequately prepared, or the area might be exposed to extreme temperatures or moisture. Re-clean the surface and reapply the seal, pressing firmly. For persistently problematic areas, a stronger adhesive or a mechanical fixing might be considered (though this product is designed for self-adhesion).
