Tbh, I just feel like expanding foam is asking for trouble and the prep time to avoid making a mess, paired with any cutting back just seems like it’ll be a total run around.

Those strips seem like a good combo of cost/efficacy/mess of job.

I wasn't recommending expanding foam. It's just a different type of caulk saver, it's flat not round. Since you need to cover it with some sort of caulk you'll probably want to use masking tape for that as well. I certainly do these days. I use a few other time savers from sealants online too.

Yeah I get you. Hadn’t realised you meant taping for the caulking! That’ll come much later, if at all. The draft is the main issue, so I want to sort that to just keep the place warm.
I’ll probably take the time to use some beading to actually cover the gap eventually.
