Yes that's right, Home Depot! I had around 100 samples from various places like Lancair, AC Spruce, Wicks ,several automotive suppliers and a seal manufacturer. None of these seem to work as well as the the stuff I found in the local hardware store. It is hollow and white and very soft and can be purchased for around $6. I do not recall the brand name but it comes in a 18' roll and has 2 adhesive seals side by side that can be used together or can be peeled apart for a narrow single seal. I saw a similar material used to seal the door on the Diamond Star ( new 4 place katana) aircraft. If this stuff is the wrong dimension I believe the material is the "stuff" to use. It would be nice if it could be found in different sizes to accommodate everyone's application. I will look at the Mfg tonight and call them to see if there are other sizes and lengths available.
