			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kicking off the DON&#8221;T BUY THIS EVER category of new product review section.</p>
<p>There are some things that are so awful they inspire me to proselytize:</p>
<div id="attachment_117" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-full wp-image-117" title="seals_no_thing" src="http://chrisharvan.com/wp-content/uploads/seals_no_thing.jpg" alt="Seals NOTHING" width="300" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Seals NOTHING</p></div>
<p>Now, I normally do things right.  Where caulk is called for, I caulk away.</p>
<p>In this circumstance I had a large gap in the corners of my basement laundry area.  The contractor who put the mostly waterproof panels on the wall didn&#8217;t make sure the corners were tight.  Would have required a 1.5&#8243; bead of caulk.  So this product seemed like it was going to come to the rescue.  Hell, if it could be used in a bathroom tub it should be able to handle the once in a while moisture of the laundry area.</p>
<p>WRONG!</p>
<p>After careful installation, the strips pulled away from the corners and left a nasty bad awful trail of thick adhesive.  So the adhesive stuck just fine to my surface, <strong>but not to the product itself!</strong></p>
<p>At least two hours of my life were lost trying to carefully scrape away the adhesive with a razor blade.  As I would slice the adhesive off, it would flop back onto the surface and require a whole new round of slicing.  Pulled off the wall, the stuff could be rolled around on your fingers, sucking all the oil and moisture from them <em>but wouldn&#8217;t lose any amount of its stickiness!</em></p>
<p>So despite infinite amounts of sticking power, the products fails on itself.</p>
