- Measuring tape or ruler
- Pencil or marking tool
- Caulk gun
- Caulk
- Utility knife or miter saw
- Safety glasses


Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preparation:
- Ensure the door jamb surface is clean, dry, and free of any dirt, debris, or old adhesive.
- Measure the length of the door jamb and mark the desired location of the edging strips using a pencil or marking tool.
2. Applying Adhesive:
- Apply a generous amount of adhesive to the back of the edging strips, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Use a caulking gun to apply the adhesive evenly.
3. Positioning the Edging Strips:
- Carefully align the edging strips with the marked location on the door jamb.
- Press the strips firmly into place, ensuring they adhere securely to the jamb.
- Hold the strips in place for several minutes to allow the adhesive to set properly.
4. Trimming the Edging Strips:
- Once the adhesive has set, use a utility knife or miter saw to trim any excess edging strips.
- Make precise cuts to create a clean and professional finish.
5. Caulking:
- Apply a bead of caulk along the edges of the edging strips where they meet the door jamb.
- Use a caulk gun to apply the caulk smoothly and evenly.
- Tool the caulk with a wet finger or a caulk finishing tool to create a neat seal.
6. Curing Time:
- Allow the caulk to cure for the recommended time as specified by the manufacturer.
- This will ensure a strong and durable seal.


Tips for a Successful Installation:
- Use high-quality edging strips and adhesive for optimal performance.
- Ensure the door jamb is dry and free of any moisture before applying the adhesive.
- Press the edging strips firmly into place and hold them for several minutes to ensure proper adhesion.
- Use a sharp utility knife or miter saw for precise cuts and a clean finish.
- Apply the caulk carefully and tool it to create a neat and waterproof seal.
- Allow sufficient time for the caulk to cure before using the door to ensure a strong bond.


Troubleshooting Common Issues:
- Edging strips not adhering: Ensure the door jamb is clean and dry and that the adhesive is applied evenly. Press the strips firmly into place and hold them for several minutes.
- Uneven caulk line: Use a wet finger or a caulk finishing tool to smooth out the caulk and create a neat seal.
- Edging strips peeling off: Apply additional adhesive to the back of the edging strips and press them back into place. Ensure the door jamb is clean and dry before re-applying.
