My experience with the CLC rolls I got 2+ years ago, is that it's much better than what I could buy locally, at either HD, Lowe's, ACE, or other. I did try, after having messed up my first roll. Everyone will tell you it's the same grade stuff. Maybe in some localities it is. The CLC stuff is very compressible neoprene-ish material. Anything I could buy in similar dimensions was denser and less compressible.

: Chesapeake Light Craft sells a foam rubber gasketing material for
: hatch lids. The picture of this material on their website looks
: very similar to the Frost King brand of rubber foam weatherseal
: one can purchase at the BORG for half the price and in the same
: length. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff?
