Hi,


probably a silly question...I tried to draft exclude the back door (wooden)
with foam strip and no matter where I stuck it I could not get the door to
close without me putting my shoulder against it.


the normal foam strip seems to be far too thick - can anyone recommend a
supplier of thinner foam strip or an alternative solution?


The traditional alternative to the other suggestions is to use a
sprung strip of copper, which reminds me that I want to get some. I've
just had a google to no avail, does anyone know where to get it online
(or offline at any of the sheds, although I don't remember ever seeing
it there)?

Cheers!

Martin


It used to be called "Atomic Strip"
My whole house is done with it and it wails in a high wind
I am going to replace it all with Reddiseals stuff this summer...
