Light Proofing

i taped panda film on both sides of home made doors, on inside on hinge side if door opens out, make panda film wider, so it will flare out and allow door to open, tape , nail panda to door jam, that light proofs that side ,inside when shut, outside of door make panda 2. 3 or whatever inches wider than door, when door shut will have flap out past door size, tape up side of hinge side . i cut rubber l. and width of wide tube of car to put across bottom of doors, drags better and lasts. on 4 doors ,it works, if door is light leaking on hinge side just put panda strip on edge of door over to door jam, when shut ,thats' it. try before sticking down both sides.

Thanks for the replies!

My crappy Weather Stripping has only 1 sticky side, the other isn't sticky, but the constant opening and closing of the door have made things difficult.

Its home depot quality. I have to redo it completely due to a damn'ed appraiser so this time around I'll probably go the velcro with reflectix.
