Q: I have sticky residue on my window from a previous attempt to draught proof, how do I get it off?
A: The best way we've found for removing residue is with methylated spirits and a cloth. Use plenty of the methylated spirits on the cloth and gently rub away the residue. Once the residue has been loosened from the surface you will find it rolls in balls that are easily wiped away.
Alternatively, if you have a very stable substrate to work with (not varnished timber), you can use turpentine instead of the methylated spirits. This is not advised if you are unsure as to what finish you currently have on your door jamb.

Q: Can I paint it to match?
A: A water based paint can be used to paint the EMV. However, when the EMV is painted it will lose some of its flexibility. We do not recommend painting the EMV
