Any idea what they might have used as a release agent?



Oddly enough, 'silicone spray lubricant'..



Think I'd much rather use a excess of physical barrier (aka cling film)

rather than spray stuff that might be a bit patchy. It wouldn't take much

not to release to have the window siliconed shut and working out where

that was to slice it through with a blade could be a right begger...

I think I'm with you Dave, although there's always a case for empirical evaluation(!) so I'll try to have a
go at some of the suggestions here and see what works best. Clearly it would be a lot simpler to just
seal things shut, but that might not be too useful for a door, for example (!)

In principle, it could be a useful way to draught proof an irregular gap that's not suitable for a weather
strip, though I suspect it would need a bit of ongoing maintenance. I was thinking mostly about
temporary measures in some draughty places (I have plenty) pending doing a proper job.
