G Zevaris: Went to a major hope improvement store and the clerk never heard of rope calk. I guess is not a popular item and may be hard to find locally. Used it to secure my lighthouse top and it sealed and stuck securely. Not for big jobs and is handy to have around. Duck Brand Quality for sure.

Hailey Hester: I bought this ti fill in the gaps of my windows. It is super maluable and easy to slot into windows. It adheres really well. Fun fact, it doesn't stick to metal well as I tried to put a little under my front door where I saw a gap. It didn't last after one open/shut. Wood adhesion, however is great, I can already tell my little girl's room is a lot warmer with the gaps filled in.

Island Guy: This product was adequate for my intended use (sealing a 1/16" wide opening between some wire mold parts). However, the package description and Amazon listing are misleading:
The Amazon listing and package describe this product as "rope caulk". Neither the listing nor the package state the actual ingredients except to say that it is a "rubber-based caulk". It looks, feels and smells to me like the butyl rubber sealant that I've used many times in marine applications. If this product is in fact butyl rubber then users will probably want to know that is will never "dry" or harden like latex or other common caulks. Rather, it will remain pliable and sticky to the touch indefinitely. It will also attract dirt.
Finally, although the Amazon listing describes the color as "white", it is nothing even close to white. In fact the color is a light gray.

J. Todd: i can understand why so many reviews of this product are negative. if you just go at it without taking the care to work with it properly it will absolutely turn into an unrecoverable mess.
1) refrigerate before using. i had two boxes of this, it came in from an 80°F day in the sun and delivery truck. it was very warm and soft and gooey. i put one box in the fridge and /tried/ to use the other box without cooling. Without cooling it was too soft to work with, like many of the photos of negative reviews instead of pulling apart it simply stretched and became unworkable. the second roll was in the refrigerator for about an hour before i used it, and it was much easier and faster to work with, and had no loss of product.
2) if it gets squished at all in transit or storage it's not going to come apart. it's just not. cut the squished bit off and toss it out. i lost the first 8" of one roll, and the last 10" of the same roll because the stuff was too stuck together to pull apart. rather than fight it and try and save, just accept it as trash.
3) work in short, sharp, pulls at 90° from the direction it's attached. ie) if you're unrolling, "peel" it like an orange...

chuck: Product worked as expected kinda hard to work with if the rope gets to warm will stick to the roll wish they had it lined with something to make that part easier. But installed easy and stayed put. Easy removal if your mess up too.

Jerry L. Marshall: This is easy to use and will fill those small cracks so the winter cold won’t seep through and help hold the cool air in during those hot summer days.
