I am growing using 400w hps/mh combo in a large armoire/wardrobe
Plain and simple the doors leak like ...bad
on outer edges and middle
i have weather stripping from home depot that is 1/4 in thick and 1/2 in wide
the weather stripping worked pretty well on my other cab but on this one I cant seem to seal it

After applying the weather stripping to the sides of the doors between the hinges
the doors wont close
so i had to remove the strips ( in pieces) and remove each and every staple
I have checked out the panda/poly film zipper idea but I am not sure how to go about it

any help is greatly appreciated
can take pics if needed:leaf::sad::leaf:

ok so i have decided to make my own door inside the wardrobe
using 2 tarp zips and panda film
this takes care of the light proof part

I really appreciate all the responses
