[AT] Tractor Shop weatherproofing

[charlie hill]

Richard,  now that you mention that,  a few years ago I had
to seal a hatch on a big industrial dust collector.  What I found
and used that was cheap and effective was those foam "noodles"
that kids play with in the swimming pool.  They are denser than
pipe insulation but made about the same way and are pretty cheap.
they also come in colors.

Andy a cheap fix i have found is get pipe insulation[what ever size you
need] open it up and staple it to door or frame. Don,t last years but seal
good as door opens or closes.
