Knots2u door seal job

[bixmooney]

I ordered the knots2u door seal, glue stripper and adhesive from their website. 
 

Any pearls on doing this ?   Is a pretty straightforward and effective job to do ?

Rather straight forward.  Lay the seal out in the sun for 1/2 hour before installation, and read instructions on your sealant.  I suspect apply to both surfaces and allow to get tacky for a prescribed time, tape in place.   Like you said straight forward.

I used it on my B. The biggest thing is stripping all the old sealant off first so you have a clean surface. After that, work in smaller sections. Made a huge difference in my airplane

Mine seemed to go well, but I made some mistakes and will probably redo it 

I used the knot2u and stripped it down well glued it and shut the door which was really hard to shut 

I left it with hanger heat at 65 overnight.    
it was still hard to shut from the outside and couldn’t shut from the inside 

this is where we made my mistake.   I should have given it another day or two to compress but couldn’t help myself and started trimming.  

the door shuts great now but I have wind under the door.   I trimmed there and that obviously was not the tight spot 

if I do it again, I will temp blue tape it, get several strips of paper to check fit and adjust before gluing. 
also, I will leave it to compress for 2 days
