[BlindHandyMan] Covering a window AC with a trash bag

2006-11-27 Thread compgirl32
How do you go about covering a window ac with a trash bag? Can I use
masking tape or do I need to get some duct tape? I seem to have
accidentally misplaced the cover that came with it and it is easier if
I can leave it in the window.
Thanks for your help.

I use to use bungy cords  and  tape. to hold the plastic on the A C. For over 
the winter, the weather would get to the tape.

Masking tape might work, but I would suggest mulital layers.  Duct tape would 
work a lot better..  I would suggest covering the inside also.  There are lots 
of cracks for cold air to go through.
