A METHOD OF MAKING A POLYVINYL FOAM SEALING STRIP COMPRISING THE STEPS OF FILLING A MOLD CAVITY HAVING A CONFIGURATION OF SAID SEALING STRIP TO BE FORMED WITH A VINYL PLASTISOL CAPABLE ON FUSION OF FORMING A FLEXIBLE SOLID NON-POROUS MATERIAL, APPLYING SUFFICIENT HEAT TO SAID MOLD TO CAUSE SAID PLASTISOL TO FORM A GELLED LAYER OF PREDETERMINED THICKNESS ADJACENT THE MOLD CAVITY SURFACES, WITHDRAWING THE UNGELLED VINYL PLASTISOL FROM SAID MOLD CAVITY, DEPOSITING A QUANTITY OF A FOAMABLE VINYL PLASTISOL INTO SAID MOLD CAVITY, SAID QUANTITY BEING SUFFICIENT ON EXPANDING TO COMPLETELY FILL THE MOLD CAVITY, APPLYING ADDITIONAL HEAT TO SAID MOLD AT A TEMPERATURE CAPABLE OF CAUSING SAID FOAMABLE PLASTISOL TO EXPAND AND COMPLETELY FILL THE MOLD CAVITY, HEATING THE MOLD TO BETWEEN ABOUT 325*F. AND 335*F. WHEREBY SAID FOAMED MATERIAL IS FUSED WITH SAID LAYER TO FORM A FLEXIBLE, SELF-SUSTAINING STRIP, COOLING THE FORMED SEALING STRIP TO APPROXIMATELY ROOM TEMPERATURE AND FINALLY SUBJECTING SAID SEALING STRIP TO A HEAT AGING TREATMENT OF AT LEAST FOUR HOURS AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF 175*F. TO 200*F.
