Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dap 18324 Seal 'N Peel Removable Caulk, 10.1-Ounce
Customer Review: Super removable weatherstrip
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is a great product.. Don't waste time with the rope type which falls off in a month or so.. this seals completely and is super easy to remove..
It doesn't damage woodwork or the frame. i'm getting ready to do it now just before the first freeze in Wisconsin.. No more drafts around doors or windows!! no other product is as good. However get your weatherstip in shape also.
Thanks Amazon for the opportunity to rate these. Hope this helps someone. Fumes were not bad at all IMHO!!
I recommend a power caulk gun to put this in place. My hand got real tired putting this on the windows. I got a pneumatic caulk gun, but they make electric, battery etc.

It really made install easy! the hand method works but you will have a sore hand at the end of the day.
Customer Review: The fumes are noxious!
Summary: 3 Stars
I used this temporary caulk on my drafty aluminum windows. It goes on smoothly, and any that you get on your hands is easily washed off. It seems to do a pretty good job keeping out the bulk of the drafts. It doesn't smell bad when you are applying it, however, the next 48 hours are terrible. The fumes are overpowering and obnoxious. Initially it stuck well to the aluminum window frames, however, as time passed it seemed to be coming off the windows. None of it has fallen off, but it seems to have come up in some places. I have not removed it yet so I cannot comment on removal yet.
04/01/09 Update: I just started removing the caulking from the window and it comes up easily and leaves no residue.
All in all... Apply it in sessions over a few weeks and make sure there is plenty of ventilation.
Customer Review: This stuff works great!

Seals like a champ. Although, trying to get in a well ventilated area while you are trying to seal everything is a bit hard. And believe me, you NEED to be in a well ventilated area!Customer Review: Toxic odor is so bad it negates usefulness of product
Summary: 1 Stars
I used 1-1/2 tubes of this caulk in my basement and it made my entire 2 story house smell so terrible that I had to evacuate my family. I have used other weatherproofing products over the years and I have never encountered one with such a toxic byproduct. I thought for a bit I was going to have to take my family to the hospital. I had the basement exterior door open during installation, but obviously had to close it once night came. People who buy this are going to use it when it is cold outside. Not when it is 60 out and we can sleep with all the windows open in the house. The ability to open the windows totally negates the use of this product.
There are many other solutions that are safer for your families health and are just as effective. I would recommend avoiding this product at all costs. I will never use it again or recommend it to friends or family whose health I cared about.
Customer Review: VENTILATION ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!
Summary: 3 Stars
This stuff works well, and I am not even aware of a comparable competitor. That being said, this some POTENT STUFF! The fumes are terrible.
Apply this only if it is nice enough to leave all of your doors / windows you do not apply it to wide open. That, and maybe tell your wife and children to go stay at grandma's for the weekend. So, do not wait until it is cold out to apply it, because you will be sorry (and probably dizzy from the fumes).
They are selling this now with vanilla scent, so you can get high off of it dreaming of ice cream and fields of vanilla!
