[Greenbuilding] saran wrap interior window insulation kits: experience

[Bob klahn]

It has been a while since I tried one of those kits, so I suppose that 
they /may/ have improved the tape, but it only took two tries to 
convince me to use the membrane but anchored through uinglued foam 
strips with short staples.  I thought that the small, patchable pinholes 
were preferable to the damage to the trim paint that the tape always did.

The compromise between an adhesive which will hold the plastic reliably 
and still release from the trim in Spring seemed more than the makers 
could manage.

I had the best luck with light, removable frames for the film, some of 
which really was close to glass-clear.
