How To Remove Frame Sealant Pre-Fill / Re-Seal And Paint Window Cill/Sill

[@bsnufkin929]

Are you kidding! You took ALL THESE STEPS, and YOU SHOWED THE CLOSE-UP OF THE FINISH! The foam, the primer, the bloody lot in between! All done properly and you did not rush it. Unbelievable. We all know there is no "perfect" in this job but you're as close as one can be. Guess you're working for yourself... No business would make a video like this one. Just came across your channel and I'm about to check out what else can I learn from you. Thanks!

[@liam_j82]

Done this process a few times now after your videos! No more cracking! Works perfectly thanks for the tips. Foam is the way forward 👍

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Your welcome thank you.

[@homesinternational]

Excellent work man! I need a decorator like you on my jobs - never seen such good detail to work.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you... always nice to do your best.

[@AbzRaz]

I didn't even realise I needed to see this video until I did! I have the same issue with my sills moving and sealant has cracked and worn away. I was thinking about how to tackle this issue without replacing the sill, and this is exactly what I need to do! Thanks for your great video and tidy workmanship

[@pantone3002]

Never tire of looking at quality work 👍🏼 Happy new year guys

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you Happy new Year

[@Jayne696]

Thanks for a very good video. What is the name of the sealant you put inside the joint? I did not see the container. How about putting the list of tools and type of items needed to do the job?

[@ashtofte6523]

Another great tuition video which I can’t thank you enough for. I watch every one more than once and you both teach me so much. You really should charge. Anyone that gives a negative review, remark or just a thumbs down is pathetic in my opinion. Even if they do something differently doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be open to new or other options for solutions. It certainly doesn’t mean you guys are wrong. I hope you ignore them. Keep them coming Gents. I don’t care how many times you may show a similar fix or tip. I learn something every time. Happy New Year to you and your families.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you and yes it's all about the end finish... Happy New Year

[@justtisha]

I love your attention to detail and your meticulousness. The camera angle is great. Have you been back to any of these foam fixes years later to see how they held up? I've lived in my house for five years and I'm just now getting hairline cracks. I'm pretty sure they painted before I moved in. I know they didn't use foam.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you.. Some caulks dry out and do crack eventually especially if any movement. Even silicone badly applied can start to come off.

[@meckwith]

Very informative and detailed! Thanks for taking the time to share this.

[@Swiftaps]

uPVC cleaner makes sense for uPVC frames. What would you recommend for removing paint and grime from powder-coated aluminium frames? Windex seems to work better than nail polish remover but still takes alot of elbow grease. Using the angled wooden trim to scrape off the sealant is a great idea. I scratched one of my aluminium frames doing this with a 5 in 1.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Yes takes a steady hand and always being prepared for it to slip. On customers jobs you can not take the chance of scratches. White spirit or mythalated spirits to clean.

[@MarcGray1990]

Loving these polymer sealants now.... in my opinion it’s a great situation to use them as you have shown.... the bond to the surfaces is excellent and even with the foam I guess a certain amount of movement can still happen with temperature increase expansion and contraction to the window frame / sill etc and the polymers do have a certain flex to them which will prevent any cracking. You won’t shift polymer sealant once gone off like you can with silicone or caulk. They are also so much better against condensation around windows and for exterior use. Thanks matey! Take care!

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thanks some good sealants these days expensive.

[@MarcGray1990]

@@PaintingandDecorating true... best part of a tenner for some. Worth it if it does the job though! Everyone is happy from painter to customer!

Thanks for the info and an amazing demo, got to get stuck in now once I get my expandable foam, such a neat job hope mine will be too !

[@tonyalways7174]

Lovely job and the customer should be well pleased. There’s a great little toolkit for anyone not expert in using caulk or sealant called the Cramer Fuji tool which gets a lovely finish even for DIYers.

[@justintemp]

He used his finger to smooth it out No tool needed...

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

I bought the Cramer kit and hated it, applied the silicone neat, sprayed with soapy water and it still smeared it over both edges and left trailing lines

[@paulwilson1555]

another great video, I was wonderding, Internally, Could I use a good flexible caulk around the windows, as the area around the windows will be painted with emulsion?

[@craigwilliams7516]

[@kostasviastikopoulos217]

Does it matter if you use exterior sealant for the inside like this ? I have a lot of exterior stuff but I want to do the inside . Also how do you keep your brushes good long term when finished the paint do u soak in a mineral spirit ?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Always check data sheet to see if its okay to use inside.. some exterior materials take longer to cure over time giving off gases. Brushes.. oil we keep in water... brushes we use in Zinsser B.I.N. we keep in methylated spirits. Thanks

[@mattgloss8580]

Nice tip with the wooden scraper brother.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you mate.

[@trechen100]

Really enjoy watching and leaning from your videos. Thank you. Tried something different the other day instead of using my finger as normal for me. I'd noticed that using my finger leaves a concave profile in the sealant. I had used my finger around the bath previously which was ok'ish but under the shower head where the water runs down the wall onto the silicone it kind of gathered, only a little, before running off. And I was always bleaching along there to keep the mould at bay. Racked it out the other day and re-siliconed using a fugi kit with a 45 degree angle. Absolutely amazing finish and looks real good and the 45 degree angle hopefully should stop some, if not all the water from pooling along the silicone. No more finger for me. I know I slightly digressed from the window topic though. Waiting for the finger gags to start coming at me. lol

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you.

[@lacoleman4109]

what foam do you use to fill the gap?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

@@lacoleman4109 Soudal expanding foam. Thanks

[@davecharlesworth8176]

[@MsAngelicdemoness]

What foam is being used?

[@VengeanceFalls]

Dam man that looks so clean . 😮

[@doglifehub]

What would I do with a pvc sill? Just wipe with the wipes, tape up, use foam, wipe again, and seal? Many thanks!

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Yes that sounds good. White spirit will remove any accidental foam on the plastic. But best to cover the whole area apart from the gap. Thanks

[@doglifehub]

@PaintingandDecorating thanks mate. Much appreciated

[@mreh145]

Which frame sealant is the best for upvc windows?

[@jmabarker1]

Did you thin satinwood paint?

[@njysale1]

Hi! Can please list the name and brand of all the materials you used. Thanks.

[@TastyPanda757]

Do I need to re seal the windows inside and outside? Also would this help solve the problem of cold air coming in, thankyou

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Yes for best results but only if it's necessary to replace all the sealant. Thanks

[@Napoleon-Blownapart]

Given its an interior window, any benefit using the frame sealant over something like Geocel Painter's Mate?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

That sounds fine to use. As long as it's a finish sealant as some will not have paint on.. some sealants will attract dirt.

[@simonwalsh5343]

Anyone know where I can buy one of the filling knifes/scrapers we see used on this chanel? It looks like a great tool for filling compared to regular filling knives. I've searched similar looking items on Amazon but I'm wondering how to get the one used here?

[@mtector]

Screwfix

[@duckula316]

Do drafts come through if you don't reseal?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Yes

[@ashtofte6523]

Can I add. I do get a little confused as to when you use BIN or 123. Is that just your own personal preference or what you happen to have to hand?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

It's best for the sealant more flex in 123.

[@rupertwilson7020]

Zinsser B.I.N. contains shellac, which has special properties: dries in hard sealing layer of shellac, good for sealing in smoke/tobacco contaminants, water stains, or priming over tricky surfaces, including MDF .. with advantage of quick drying, but.. it has no flex; not good for joints nor high temperature fluctuation, such as unheated outside building.. 123 is different and has the flexible qualities.

[@charliejohnson9794]

I’ll paint over water based primer? I thought they were incompatible. I have had real problems with Weathershield water based top coat over oil based primer on an exterior job where the topcoat has come off in patches.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Would not really recommend a water based top coat on oil undercoat.. you would have to allow the oil undercoat to dry for a week and a good sand to key... oil going over water based undercoat is completely different.

[@charliejohnson9794]

Thanks!

[@justintemp]

You protected the surface from the wipes.Before but at 4.21 you use a scraper.. Doesn't that ruin the surface?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

The wipes works up the paint and leaves a residue so best to keep it off the woodwork. The scraper was just to remove the last of the sealant. Thanks

[@justintemp]

@@PaintingandDecorating thanks for the clarification. Love how calm and slow you take things. Very relaxed!

[@LMC232]

Whoever lived in my house before varnished over messy filler

[@shakebake3124]

Was thinking this is the perfect tutorial, until the finger chalk smear.

[@Benzknees]

Interesting, but don’t get the purpose of foam filling a gap which the new sealant would otherwise fill/seal. Also why not paint the window board first, before sealing, then you won’t need to prime & paint the sealant.

[@idi0tdetectioninprogress]

The foam is to secure the window sill board to stop movement. You could hear the hollow sound when he tapped it.

[@Benzknees]

@@idi0tdetectioninprogress - Thanks, but a thin bead of v.compressible foam isn’t going to stop any movement. Especially as the movement of the window board is up/down, not back & forth.

[@idi0tdetectioninprogress]

@@Benzknees Its not a thin bead, its expanding foam, and he got the nozzle a fair way down the back of the sill. Usually its down to poor choice, or use, of a No Nails adhesive type product when installing the sill which causes the problem. Unless the hollow is like the Grand Canyon, foam should be fine.

[@Benzknees]

@@idi0tdetectioninprogress - The gap between the frame & window board looks pretty thin to me! He’s having to squeeze the tube together just to get any in. A gap which would otherwise be filled by the sealant & give it something to key to. Seems counterproductive.

[@idi0tdetectioninprogress]

@@Benzknees Expanding foam is the only thing worth trying. Cartridge delivered adhesives are no good in this situation.

[@frederico1832]

You'll be still painting that window come next xmas the way you are going.

[@sparkydave2783]

🤷‍♂️

[@strballr]

Absolutely ridiculous amount of steps to take …. Puts people off DIY trust me it’s not that hard just remove the seal clean it and reseal it simple.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

That's why it's called DIY because they don't do it the correct way. The correct way always has lots of steps.

I like your video but your explanation is too long try to cut it down
