That’s interesting about the brush-style draft stopper. I tried one of those after my silicone one basically melted into a weird shape by August. The brush lets in a little light at the edges, but you’re right - it doesn’t get stuck when the door swells up. I might try doubling up with some weatherstripping tape.
I’m with you on SikaFlex. It’s tough stuff, but I went through two pairs of gloves and still ended up with it on my hands for days. The only thing that’s held up longer for me is some marine-grade caulk, but it’s overkill unless you’re sealing a boat.
For the threshold, I used those interlocking foam tiles from the gym section. Not pretty, but they don’t get as hot and you can replace just one if it gets gross. Still end up in socks half the time, though...
