Thanks for the lovely comment. Please consider subscribing,if you haven’t already. I like filling neatly it save so much time on rubbing down .

I agree with the spraying of unibond to seal out moisture, I have seen plasterers and other DIY videos on youtube use similar products to provide adhesion and weather sealing. I am looking to replace a windowsil which has come loose because the surrounding bricks are crumbling with some deep cracks, so i intend to repair the surrounding area with a patching mortar/cement, before fitting windowboard in.

Great job. Sorry but I have to do this though -> I think its a window stool. The window sill is usually the part attached to the window and / or the exterior part on the outside. I think its a common misconception XD.

I would recommend varnish in that case . I found diamond glaze works really well and is dry in 24 hours and 3 coats makes it look like high gloss

Brilliant, well explained. Did you use just filler in the surrounding gaps or silicone too - couldn’t see in the time lapse. If I do this in my bathroom, should I use a bathroom sealant as well as filler?? Thank you

Hi, thanks for the compliment. No I took it up as it was so un stuck and uneven . I made a video about it called ( Self levelling concrete) subscribe and check out the other videos on that room

What did you spray for moisture control? Please let me know?

@sionhughes5543

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Norma, I sprayed a really thick coat of PVA Adhesive ,sealer , primmer. It may well have another trade names in your part of the world such as UNI BOND etc etc . SO that and water was sprayed on the wall . This product is common throughout the build trade and is excellent for inhibiting moisture and acts as a great sealer on brickwork prior to plastering or over fresh plaster to seal the surface prior to painting . It stops the paint being sucked into the plaster and drying out to quickly . I used PVA on my concrete floor to seal it before I covered it in self levelling compound. If you watch my video ( SELF LEVELLING CONCRETE) you will see me quite literally flooding the floor with a thick coat between full fat milk and cream . A few days later it had dried completely clear which meant I could confidently cover the floor with self levelling compound knowing it wasn’t going to dry at different times depending on how porous the floor surface was because it had all been sealed . Hope than answers your question and helps with your projects.

Hi - what did you use to secure the board to the base? Most vids I've seen screw the board down but I'm reluctant to do this if there's another option as even plugged the screw holes may be noticeable on un-painted wood

@sionhughes5543

Hi Josh , I simply stuck it in place with all the filler you saw me packing around it . Between the tongue on the back of the window sill and the receiving slot on the window frame its not going anywhere. I suppose if its a lot wider then it might bow up in the middle and require some fixings but for small ones like mine none are needed . If you have to use a fixing then consider putting some screws with wide heads on the bottom of your window board with wide heads then packing cement / construction adhesive underneath it . This will the bond something physical to grip on to . I hope this helps . I really appreciate you taking the time to comment would ask you to consider subscribing as it would really help this little channel grow . Cheers Sion
