Can this be used on outer house window rubber seals to protect from weather (drying out)?

I would surely think so. It can be used in so many applications around your home or garage. I use it on my exercise machine which loves to squeak loudly every few weeks. It keeps it quiet for a long stretch of time. I love the stuff.

I have used this on external rubber seals on cars, and it works well as a moisture barrier. I assume it will work just as well for home window seals.

I used it on my car's door seals and it did not last long, but this may be because those seals were already dry and needed second pass. In my opinion this should work fine for you, but you still need to apply it from time to time. If you want longer effect you may want to look for something denser.

It is not water proof, but I use a sealant like petroleum jelly and have had no problems here in FL with moisture. I would think plumber' tape would also work well.

I agree with Mickey's answer below. There is no reason why you COULDN'T put it on the outside of the window as the instructions are to clean the window, apply a mixture of soap/water to the window using a spray bottle, position the trimmed to fit film and then squeegee (supplied) the film to get the water out. However, it would likely have a shorter life due to the elements it would face (changing temps, humidity, pollution...) and I don't know whether it would maintain its "stick" if it is outdoors. Bottom line is "I don't know."

I guess so.. It dries incredibly hard. I use it for wall repairs.. Window sills to even the surface... All I am is a purchaser.. why don't you contact the maker of the product ask them

You can use it any place you would caulk. I've used it around windows and door frames. I've also used it to seal up spaces around my window air conditioners. It holds in all temperature extremes and through all sorts of stormy, rainy weather. I highly recommend this stuff.

Flex Seal is perfect for that application, I used Flex Seal on aluminum framed windows with great success. Note that the outdoor temp must be above 60 degrees F and the surface must be dust free for maximum adhesion. Good luck with your project.

No, don't use this for window insulation. This is garage door insulation, and has an "aluminum" coating for reflecting energy. The texture is similar to bubble wrap, and as others have pointed out, you will not be able to see out of your windows.A better choice would be to look at the 3M clear window insulation kits.

I suppose you could although you might have a problem. Stainless steel will contract in the cold and this could affect the seal. Also, the cold could affect the rubber gasket by making it rigid and/or brittle. Not all types of rubber do that though and I don't know what type of rubber this gasket is made of.

Yes it would work, however you would need to use duck tape or similar to keep it attached at the top. Also of course depends how tall the window is. Regardless duck you tape or similar is a good idea to help seal well.

The box directions say indoor and outdoor use so I would assume so but I just used it on an indoor seal

It is not designed for that, but for keeping the rubber that seals around the doors, trunks, and hoods from drying out by lubricating the seals. However, if you want to waterproof your ignition system then you should try a 3m sealant. I check on this with calling 3m on their products and the person in the automotive section said that only a sealant would work for what you want. If you have further inquiry's on this you can call them at (1-888-364-3577) ask to speak to the automotive product section.

This product is not the best choice due to the humidity and water that will be present in that area. You would be better off using a waterproof varnish (found at a hardware store) or the Liquitex Soluvar Varnish.

Of course. I use it on all of the windows. With the Rain-X applied, even windows without a wiper tend to dry off faster and stay cleaner in the long run.

This does form a leak-proof seal on on rubber. I used it to repair a rubber floor mat, which gets wet frequently. I have not seen any deterioration of the patch from the wet conditions.

Yes, as long as you use clear packing tape. It does weather eventually, but it is much better than duct tape which leaves yucky residue. Good luck.

Yes. Once it dries it's impervious to humidity. Just make sure that when you first apply it, the product temperature is between 50 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Half a gallon's amount may not be enough if the repair is substantial.

I used it to seal cracks on my driveway and it has stood up to the elements for at least five years. I think that if you prep the area and apply an even coat that it would hold. It stays rubbery when dry. You may want to try it on a small obscure spot first.
