Temporary window sealant for ACs

[WA1DH]

Has anyone found a sealant that works for temporary seasonal use in closing gaps for window AC units? I'm talking about 1/8" or so gaps that the foam you pack in doesn't do well for. I tried latex caulk last season, which worked great, but was terrible to remove. I was thinking something along the line of a gasket cement that peels away, preferably applied via caulk gun.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

To note, an ACE Hardware near me has it in stock today in clear however.

Get this specialty caulk from Home Depot. It is specifically designed for your intended application.

I use that HVAC tape. You know, that sticky, thicker than normal aluminum backed tape that is normally used for HVAC ductwork.

Clear packing tape works good too.

@WA1DH why not try something like this foam tape on the pieces you install to avoid clean up?

Just my $0.02

I didn't realize such a specialty caulk existed. I think I will give that a try.

As for the tape foam, I have used that before but I'm trying to seal those little crevices between the metal AC case and the sliding window filler shutters. I also have a big unit that seems to end up with a slightly bowed bottom case, so another odd spot to fill. A liquid/caulk was my first thought.

I bet the caulk is better at sound deadening than tape.
