Question:

Is there a faster way of unwrapping a plastic window insulation kit??

I just bought a quot;shrink window plastic insulation kitquot; from Home Depot to prevent cold air from entering through the windows. The plastic comes wrapped and it's taking forever to unwrap the plastic pieces that are stuck together. Please help!!!!

Answer:

try putting a piece of masking tape on each side and then pull them apart
Sorry, no quick fix. Kind of like using cheap cling-wrap in the kitchen when the tear-strip doesn't cut it and the edge is somewhere on the roll, or cheesey transparent tape that breaks and you have to pick at it to start again. Seriously, easy on the Star-bucks, instead maybe a beer or a glass of wine, leave the cell-phone down, relax and deal with it. Good application, by the way. A really leaky window can cost you a hundred bucks before spring. If buying more, try the 3M products, always the best.
I just did the same to my windows today and the best way is unfold the entire roll on the ground. It is easier to separate the film making it easier to open. ONE HUGE HINT!! When applying the double sided tape make sure that you undo at least an inch of both sides of the tape before you apply to the wall. It makes it easier to undo the second strip of the double sided tape. I hope this helps.
