Great Stuff seems to work.



And who said you never give helpful answers?

Likely you have never even tried it because great stuff isn't UV
resistant so it quickly turns yellow and gets brittle. Other than that
it looks great on those infomercials.

On the other hand the stuff (duct seal) electricians use is easily
applied with your fingers without any mess and stays pliable for a long
time.
