Richard Harmon: This insulation will kill the draft around a window unit, but the instructions are too simplistic. To cut the insulation, use a matte knife against a straightedge, not scissors. Measure everything exactly. With the two-sided tape, let it overlap at the corners. To pull off the clear backing, use a finger from each hand: one to pull off the clear backing, the other to press down on the tape and hold it in place. You can get sturdier tape in any hardware store; I had to cut several extra pieces because this tape stretched too much. Took me about a half hour total, from measuring to finished job.

Tee: This was NO where near what I thought. I had to make adjustments for it to work but wasn’t worth the money.

Michael K: Instructions aren’t that great. But with a bit of work and duct tape, voila.

JohnS:
I like the result, but it was a royal pain to install. Here's a few tips:
1) Lay it out flat, foam side down, put some weights on the ends, and let it sit a day. This avoids the curling problem.
2) Cutting is indeed easy. If you aren't sure about the exact fit then cut large. You can trim it later to make it a bit smaller.
3) The tape is the main problem. I ruined the first two pieces I tried to install. Cut a few inches off and play with it to get used to it. If it gets stuck to itself forget it! I seriously doubt that it's possible to remove the mat, store it, then reinstall it. The tape would be sticky on both sides. How are you going to store that?
4) Off the reel the tape is sticky on one side. Once applied you will have to remove the binder on the top side. This is no fun since you can't see it! It's transparent just like the tape. As I said above, practice a bit with some short pieces first. This would have been easier if they used a colored backer!
5) I was unwilling to attempt a one-piece install, given the tape problems and the accuracy of the cuts required. So I did a three-piece install instead: left and right panels...

john gonzalezjohn gonzalez: I had a big draft coming from my ac unit and making the NY cold a bit unbearable. I had tried taping the sides for a better seal, but it wasnt helping. I purchased this product as an attempt to reduce the cold from coming in and i am simply impressed. The material was easy to cut with regular scissors and the double sided 3M tape has been holding strong. The tape will easily stick to your fingers, so be careful handling it as it can be a pain. I just installed this 3 days ago, so i cant speak for the material durability, but so far its looks good and its holding strong. The package also came with easy installation instructions.
