TIL a quick fix for cold doors from a vacation home

Tbh, I was in a vacation home up north and their door seals were perfect. Now I need to do mine. What's the best weatherstripping for an older frame?

Foam's good cause it can compress into uneven spots. The stiff rubber seals don't work if your frame isn't perfectly straight anymore.

You mentioned the vacation home's perfect seals, but that's usually because the frames are new and straight. Older door frames often have shifts or gaps, so you need a seal that can stretch to fill them. I'd start with a simple adhesive foam strip to see how it fits your gaps.
