Ok, I'll look through the boxes and see what I can find.
That would solve Peanut's problem but I've still got to find some for mine!

I suspect Bob has used up the world's supply with all those windows he has been redoing

Have you tried Airstream Supply Brad? They still have the same part number I ordered available.

I found the stuff you had in the plastic container, it's the same as what I've been ordering from all the suppliers and definitely won't work on the Argosy windows.
I've got enough windows lying around right now that I think this weekend I'm going to do a treatise on the differences in the fuzzy seals for both Argosies and Classics.

Now you are concerning me Brad, as that stuff is what AS NE installed on Bella...what is left is my 'spare'.
When you say doesn't work, can you share a photo?

Martin,
I just posed the following Fin and Wool Pile seal information in the sticky thread.

Hmmm....Bella is covered in snow until Sunday (when the temp will go up to 8-10C) but I will check the fin seal then.

So, another less than pleasant surprise. AS NE have obviously not replaced all the fin seals in Bella’s windows.
Those that have been replaced look like the fin seal is stuck on the surface not run in the channel, which is maybe why the replacement type seal seems to work. Seems like they ran a bead of marine adhesive into the channel then stuck them on top. They have only done this on the two 24” windows above the counter, the rest look original.
None of the screen windows seals look like they have been replaced.
Once you are happy the new seals work Brad it seems I need to buy a supply for next time Bella’s windows are out.

Actually I'm not too surprised that Bella's windows weren't reworked correctly (or at all). It's entirely possible AS NE had difficulties finding the right seals just like I went through. However I would have thought you would have been informed of that move
Yesterday I ordered the Fin Seal and the Wool Pile from Swisco.com. Total with shipping was about $20.
Each roll is 25 feet so I might run just a little short on the Fin Seal to do both Peanut and my Argosy but will have more than enough of the Wool Pile. Should be here Thursday so with luck Ernie should be able install them in Peanut.
Stay tuned....
Brad

Just yet another confirmation for you how valuable it is to have Brad work on Peanut for you. He just doesn't settle for less!

If it works fine, maybe you could get a roll of each it go in my spares container Brad.....and of course snip of what you need for your windows first!

Maybe you can get a local goat herder to bring his herd by for a few days.

Goats in Kentucky?! Don't people in Kentucky just think they're weird looking dogs and shoot them?
Guess I was wrong.....must be a larger Muslim population in Kentucky than I thought.
