Draught proofing windows

Well, what is the best stuff to use? Something good and thick as I have a force nine gale coming through the bottom of my kitchen windows!!! Needs to stick to wood.

Agree with @fat controller.

Have a look at the type of window/s you have and try and find exactly where the draught is coming in from.
You can use a lit candle (careful with the flame near curtains and other materials) or use a smoke pencil /puffer stick used for checking chimneys.

Then depending on the type of window/s you have and where the entry point/s are, you can use a self adhesive rubber strip for the frames or the expanding foam if it's between the frame and the walls or sill.
The expanding foam is rather messy to work with and if you apply too much, don't worry, wait for it to dry then cut off the excess with a sharp craft/Stanley knife for a neater finish.

Before buying the rubber strip, try measure the gap as accurately as possible as this will determine the width and thickness of the rubber strip.
Too thick and the window will not close, too thin and there will still be a gap left.
Don't worry it's not as difficult as it sounds as the rubber can be compressed (by the window) so you have a bit of leeway.

Not familiar with Geocel, but looks very similar to the products made by Den Braven.
Will work well too.
