Temporarily seal a window?
The house I recently bought is about a hundred years old, with the original windows. The wind comes in all around them, and especially via the crack between the upper and lower window. I don't want that, but I want to open the windows in the spring, so I'm afraid to use caulk. I have some RTV sealant, and I'm wondering if that would be ok to stick in there. I'm thinking that would be relatively easy to peel out, no? Any other ideas?
