My wooden entranceway door jambs have a kerf to accept the

Is there a simple fix? *A product?
Glue in a strip of wood to close down the kerf to fit the readily
available kerf gasketing.

Should you go that route, a couple of strip options.
Cut the strip off of say a 1x8 on a table saw. Just cut it so the thin
piece you want is on the outside of the blade. Cheapest route and you'll
have plenty of stock for multiple f'ups, errrrr...adjustments.
I saw strips of various types of wood in a hobby shop once. They ranged
from like 1/32 thick and up.
