How to fix cracked window ledge.

Be careful to rub down the edges where any larger flakes of paint came away so that you have a nice smooth gradient for the new paint. Using a syringe or brush apply the adhesive to the crack and allow it to dry completely before you remove the tape. Mix 10 parts of putty to one part activator with a flexible metal putty knife. At this stage the biggest thing to watch for is any rot that may be around the frame.

Then we used a hammer and banged popped the sill upwards being careful to avoid any further damage. In a disposable container mix up your batch of liquidwood remember the 1 to 1 proportions and let it setup for about 15 minutes.

Around all the edges including between the underneath trim and the window sill. Fit the narrow tip of a bottle of silicone latex caulk into each crack and overfill it by about inch. Fill any chipped or dinged areas with auto body filler putty. Mix only what you can use in five minutes or less.

Spread and flatten the caulk with a small putty knife. Remove any dust with a soft brush. Once it is ready you can apply it to the surfaces that require stabilization and repair. Rub off flaking paint or loose concrete along the crack with the wire brush and make sure to clean out any moss that may be growing inside.

Thoroughly clean the break flushing out any potential debris with an eyedropper before applying tape to the back of the crack. Apply the putty to fill the damaged areas smoothing it off even with the sill s surface. Scrape away any mess with the edge of the knife. We pulled out the rest of the nails that were left behind.

Fix any small or medium cracks in your concrete window sill with caulk. This will keep the adhesive from leaking out the opposite side of the window.
