I am in need of a source for some "T" shaped weather striping for RAFA portlights. I had a source saved on my computer, but alas, I can't find it now. Any suggestions, Please

Thanks

Mike,

I've never heard of RAFA portlights.

Can you be more specific in your topic? That might lead to additional responses.

Try rejuvinating the rubber gaskets with silicone spray over a few day period. They will swell back up and seal just fine.

I have on occasion repaired window, hatch and similar gaskets by squirting RTV silicone into the damaged spot. . . . . .covering with Saran Wrap, then closing the window.
When the silicone has cured, open the window, the saran wrap will pull right off, and wa la you have a repaired gasket.
Trim with razor blade if needed to remove tails or overflow.
And remember RTV, stands for Room Temperature Vulcanizing, takes forever to cure in cold temps.
