Another way to seal leaky windows is with
rope caulk, a removable, puttylike cord that comes in a roll.
Rope caulk comes in a roll and can be pressed into place by hand.
(
Rope caulk lasts much longer, is flexible and--if you live in an apartment--you can remove it without damaging the surface).
The band of
rope caulk in the bottom of the form creates a recess in the concrete that directs the water to drip from the edges, rather than run under the wheel.
Put
rope caulk around your windows and get outlet protectors--the kind designed to prevent 2-year-olds from sticking forks in sockets.
You may want to try using a
rope caulk, such as Mortite, around the perimeter of your interior windows and at the midrail where the two sashes meet.
Once the storm windows are on, get out your caulking gun or a box of
rope caulk and the stepladder, and spend a crisp late-fall day sealing gaps between siding and trim around the windows and doors.
Puttylike
rope caulk, such as Mortite, is an easy one to install and remove in the spring for reuse next winter.
