Duct Tape is also wonderful for sealing a draft. Note that was a temporary fix 10 years ago. Still holding.
My family has used many miles of duct tape. They were and some still are in heating and air conditioning. My dad's job when I was born was sheet metal mechanic. When he died, he was shop foreman and his brother was the sheet metal mechanic.
