Question 1

IS it possible to remove the tape at the end of the cold season?  Is it made to be removed?  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

It can be removed with the use of a hair dryer or heat gun (set at low temp) to lossen the tape before removal.

Question 2

Is this tape heavier than packing tape? One reviewer said packing tape would have worked just as well.

Accepted Answer

The 3M Interior Transparent Weather Sealing Tape is indeed heavier than clear packing tape but also more of a flexible, "vinyl" kind of material.  Packing tape will not conform to the transitions between glass and frame as well and I believe if left exposed to constant temperature changes, humidity and direct sunlight it would dry and become brittle, much the same as it does on cardboard boxes after lengthy periods.  The 3M tape I applied to a bedroom window in April 2012 is still doing the job of sealing air leaks as well today, as when first applied.  I just don't think clear packing tape would have lasted this long.  As another posted replied, this tape is also nearly invisible once applied.

Question 3

Would it work to cover the aluminum on the inside of the window to avoid condensation?

Accepted Answer

To me it seemed to just be really thick packaging tape. I don't know how well it would work on aluminum though. I have used it on a broken corner of the window pane. With the cold weather when I bake the interior windows get condensation. This condensation also accumulates on The repaired area of glass. Hope this info helps.

Question 4

A reviewer mentioned a strong odor coming from the tape. Can anyone tell me how long the smell lasts, as I have a pet parrot to consider. Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Yes, it has a strong odor to it.  I am sensitive to fragrances and chemicals but this is stronger smelling than any tape I've ever used before.  This tape will permeate the entire room.  I've only used it in one room for about 3 days and its still strong.  I will probably be removing it.
