A
ruler or steel tape measure, marking pencil, and a light hammer will
be needed. If the strips are of wood, a small saw and miter box are
also needed, but if the strips are of cloth a pair of scissors may be
used for Electricity
Freedom System cutting them. A number of linear feet of
stripping; some three-quarter-inch wire brads, if wooden strips are
used; 4-ounce size tinned trunk tacks (rust proof) for padded cloth
stripping; smaller trunk tacks or common carpet tacks for felt
stripping.
It
is advisable to use tacks that will be least noticeable and that will
not rust. You should look for the same ones as used for sliding
shower doors. Obviously, shower doors get wet, and shower door hinges
or tracks are subject to rusting if you do not get the right kind.
The window should be locked when weather-stripping is attached to
insure best results.
Care
should be taken to see that the contact edge presses snugly at all
points against the sash or casing, as the case may be, before the
tacks or brads are driven. The weather-stripping for the upper sash
should be tacked to the frame adjoining the sash on the outside of
the window. If the flexible type is used, one piece can be cut to
extend around the two sides and top.
