BADLY FITTING DOORS

When blinds and doors no not close snugly, but leave cracks through which drafts enter, the simplest remedy is this: Place a strip of putty all along the jambs, cover the edge of the blind or door with chalk, and shut it. The putty will then fill all spaces which would remain open and be pressed out where it is not needed, while the excess is easily removed with a knife. The chalk rubbed on the edges prevents adhesion, prevents adhesion, and the putty is left in place, where it soon dries and leaves a perfectly fitting jamb.
