Actually came out better than I thought. I’m not a professional but I would have removed all the rotten wood and replaced with new wood. I was quite surprised that it handled being nailed in to. I thought he was going to bondo under the sill. Looked like it needed.
Great instruction. You made it look easy. I live in Montana USA where the winters are brutal. Snow can sit on a sill for 6 months. Wood rot definitely happens. I'm pretty sure I can take care of the situation - thanks to you. 🙂
Awesome job guy. We're from Ohio across the big pond. We have a window frame rotting at the bottom right just like you're sill that needs delt with. We haven't decided to replace or repair, it depends on how badly rotted the window frame is. Thanks for sharing this with all of us, you did a great job.
Exactly the method I need. The frame solves the major problem of accurate filling. I’ll try adding a strip of beading to mould the shape of the rain run off lip underneath the cill. I hope my cat comes to keep me company too! Many thanks.
Nice job Candle man. I have done the same job but I removed all the rotten wood and replaced with treated scraps of wood, used the wood harder and when hardened the builder's fill. Good move to use the wood moulding. I think the young one's these days use screws inside of nails which suppose is easy to remove. Cheers for the video.
HOW TO USE THE RONSEAL WOOD REPAIR SYSTEM: Prepare the Surface. Remove all decayed and crumbly wood until fairly sound wood is exposed. This will feel more solid and less fibrous. Now leave the timber to dry out. It is essential that the timber is reasonably dry before treatment begins. To assist the drying process it may be possible to tape a plastic sheet loosely over the hole, in such a way that rain cannot get in, but evaporation can still take place. Ensure the remaining wood is free from grease, oil and all old paint and varnish remnants. For deep holes, insert non-rusting screws into the hole leaving the heads slightly proud to provide greater anchorage.
@@CalvinCooke18 hey bro why the hate. His trying to advertise and get some work on here and your depriving of that. You can tell his a good decorating and has pride In his work. The costomer probably didn't want to fork out on a carpenter to replace the seal. Don't be the kind of guy that wants to take away another mans livelihood. Watch all his videos his a good painter and knows his stuff. Be a better man come on bro I thought are main purpose in life is to help each other out. Peace out man . Have a good weekend
I watched it all the way to the end of your video and as a trader myself well Don with this video, plenty of information and you got me listening 👍 Iv got a job similar to this on a shop front that is a listed building and yes I’m looking for tips. This is genuinely one of the best videos on UA-cam for this issue 👍 you my friend have some very useful tips 😉 thank you 👌
Great video-thanks.Got to do a lot of filling on my wooden porch so that'll learn me!Also enjoyed a greateast hits of comments-"it goes without saying" "at the end of the day" "like so" "to be fair" "i think you'll agree" "job's a gooden" "as you can see" "happy days"-"lovely jubbly"!😄
Looks good and a relatively cheap repair. With enough time and if the job could afford it I’d have probably spliced a new section in but for what it is 👍
Thanks for instructional video. Sadly I did one cill & botched it. re did it after your video successfully. thanks for the practical tips. Have another cill to do now when the weather clears. PS. The Yankee spell checker keep attempting to Americanise cill into sill.
When repairing rotten sills.after you ve left the wet rot hardener to set.i bang a few nails in the wood to add the strength to it and for the 2 pack to grab onto something and you dont use as much 2 pack
We would normally chop that window cill back a wee bit more even if it meant losing the line, dry out any existing moisture with an heat gun, treat with hardener then pop some small screws in under the surface for the filler to grip to fill and sand.
I was recently using some wet rot wood hardener, but it did not harden off, remained in a sticky state?, any clues on what to try. Ronseal recommended rubbing over some acetone, which did remove the stickyness but it was still not hard. Might be related to how much you shake the tin at the start!.
Its like blinker fluid & muffler bearings. Used to you could get a rookie parts man to spend an hour looking. But I learned 1 day te old Dodge Stealth & Mitsubishi 3000 had damn muffler bearings. After years of using it until a couple years ago I found out Velcro is just a popular brand name. I pay attention & very perceptive & forgot more things about cars most will ever know, but you won't ever hear me say I know everything & I don't pretend I do, because I want the knowledge.
Your L shape frame is a good idea! Thank you! One question: the nails that came off the wood from the bottom, don't you need to fill in the holes that caused by the nails?
My question would be why was it that wet? Was it from rain or did the window not get flashed correctly? If it had been repaired already there is another problem that is not being addressed. Sounds like the water is not draining correctly. Wouldn’t using a heat gun have sped up the process?
just replace sill for god sake been in the trade over 25 years couple hours work much better job if replaced replace them all the time i live on the north east coast were the sea air destroys everything candle man that gate looked crap no wonder the customer didnt like it stick to house bashing
Great tip with the vasoline, I’ll be using that! You need to be maintaining the lines and profiles but, and you cannot do that with a bit of sandpaper in your hand. If you back the paper on a longish flat piece of wood, your job would have went from 7/10- 10/10 for the same effort, you’re blowing out your own candle
Jigsaw the bad piece out make a replacement pattern out of card board cut a piece of new wood screw the new piece on with stainless steel screws prime, fill, undercoat top coat jobs a good in.
Just to add mate the filler I believe is the same as automotive and is like a sponge takes all the water in it like sponge Bob square pants song (absorbent and yellow and porous is he)
What the client wants the client gets....you can offer advice on what you think should be the right way forward ...weather they listen or have the budget is another matter all together. This could be an agent property looking for a quick turn around rental? Who knows?

Great job mate with a couple of handy tips:- the fitting of the wood frame & the vaseline . Cheers 👌

Yeah he didn't take out the rot. Not following the instructions will bring him back again and again.
Your obviously not a decorator are you😂that wood will be solid for years mate
Nice fix, never knew you could apply a hardner to wet rotten wood to stabilize it. I would have removed it all, you learn a new thing everyday.
Great video, thanks. Also good to hear realistic time-scales for the work (coming back second day etc)
Top repair job. Your a man with a bundle of decorating knowledge.
dixie normous knowledge 🤣🤣 the clown is a site painter

Wow! The best video by far on fixing rotten window thank you for sharing.
Thank you , this will help me to repair wood .You have made it so easy to follow .A great video
Fantastic job, well demostrated and explained , delightful cat too !!!!

Really like that you shared the entire project. So many don’t show the final results. Great job!!
Nice one mate, & thanks for the Vaseline tip !
Doing a window sill repair job right now. Great video 👍
Thanks - great video and good info-- I didn't know about the drying agent
Cheers candleman. Great video useful information. 👍
Fantastic. Looks a treat. If I could sand that quick I'd have it made in the shade.
Thank you. I learnt a new method.
Excellent job mate!!
Looks great! And good tips. Enjoyed watching!
Beautifully done, thanks a lot for sharing.
Brilliant. Thank you for this insightful video.
Nice job mate,fingers crossed it'll hold up,time will tell?personally I would have just scarfed in a new piece of timber and two packed the joint
That’s exactly what I’m gonna do now,,Thanks Mark👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks for instructional video. Sadly I did one cill & botched it. re did it after your video successfully. thanks for the practical tips. Have another cill to do now when the weather clears. PS. The Yankee spell checker keep attempting to Americanise cill into sill.
That's because SILL is the correct spelling. It is a window sill.
@@brianthwaites2397 It may be the correct spelling in the USA but in the UK it's CILL.
good repair,well done.have to mind this..the wet rot hardner!,good stuff!
Looks good. You can make a profile from a plastic putty knife and sometimes you can get it in one try.
Thank you will help me enormously! Good job!
use a sureform to shape it when its almost hard. then sand. if its too sticky it clogs the blade though.
Smashing work fella.
Nice video mate! Keep em coming 😀
Can you really apply that wood hardener over soaking wet wood? Does it also serve to dry the wood?
Awesome job candleman looks like brand new wood your painting buddy from the states.
Ken
ken the sycophant yank is fucking blind aswell
Good video and advice. Thanks for the demo and tips
this will definately help me out for sure
Wrap supporting timber with cling film or a freezer bag then the filler doesn't stick to it..👍
When repairing rotten sills.after you ve left the wet rot hardener to set.i bang a few nails in the wood to add the strength to it and for the 2 pack to grab onto something and you dont use as much 2 pack
looking forward to try this on my many sills thanks
I spray the rotten wood, which seems to apply easier. I use a vegetable spray to coat the wood so it doesn't stick, easy peasy!
You find DRY ROT you better do more than that!!
The trade is leaning towards resin repairs such as Repaircare. More expensive but far more flexible so lasts far longer.
depends what time you go. what time does the owner go . about 12. see you in Wetherspoons at 12.30 sort that out tomorrow.
I just looked it up and once the epoxy filler is cured it's totally waterproof
looks great and an easy way to repair rotted wood
Very helpful thank you.
Your a top guy and top worker.love the vids.need more often though.at least you show decent vids
We would normally chop that window cill back a wee bit more even if it meant losing the line, dry out any existing moisture with an heat gun, treat with hardener then pop some small screws in under the surface for the filler to grip to fill and sand.
You are correct and totally in line with the manufacturers instructions, always best to do a job correctly...!!
That's what I am doing tomorrow. Not this
Really helpful, cheers mate

You need to cut a drip edge in the bottom or water will wick back up hill the the solid wood and make it rot out and you'll have to fix it agine.
Good job. I've used epoxy and it's good stuff.
Yes it wasn't done to the 100 % way of lasting ... but I have to say you done a nice job there my man hats of to you... up the painters 👍
Job will done. Thank You.
A sanding block would have kept the repair straight at the front of the sill.
By painting on hardener onto rotten wood your only sealing in the rot still there?
Used that Ronseal wet rot hardner.. did not do a bloomin thing for some reason.
Great Job 🕯
Is there a groove on the bottom of the window sill that you need to put for water to not drip on the house. I forget what it's called
It's a drip groove
Nice repair Mark 👍
nice repair? Are you stevie wonder
What happens if you don't put a primer If I use wood rot then use wood filler then paint on top
Good vid 👍 can you stain this product or only gloss I t ???
What filler did you use?
Had absolutely no idea u could apply wood hardener to saturated wood . Learn a new thing every day lol . I always dried it out with heat gun
Its like blinker fluid & muffler bearings. Used to you could get a rookie parts man to spend an hour looking. But I learned 1 day te old Dodge Stealth & Mitsubishi 3000 had damn muffler bearings.

One question: the nails that came off the wood from the bottom, don't you need to fill in the holes that caused by the nails?
yeap!
Magnifico!
This was great. I can do this!
You can do anything, your heart desires 👍🕯☕️🚬
I’ve used this on wet rotten wood and despite leaving for a few days the wood is still spongy and just feels sticky. Am I doing something wrong?
Yes.
My question would be why was it that wet? Was it from rain or did the window not get flashed correctly? If it had been repaired already there is another problem that is not being addressed. Sounds like the water is not draining correctly. Wouldn’t using a heat gun have sped up the process?
It’s an old house, with all it’s little problems that just the way things are 🕯🎅🏻
Its wet because and im betting the paint itself trapped any water or moisture. Let dry naturally whats left of it!
@@wallingtonfilming This old house thing............ Simply not plausible for it be be the reason
nice one thanks for sharing repaircare is easier to work with and better long term fix
just replace sill for god sake been in the trade over 25 years couple hours work much better job if replaced replace them all the time i live on the north east coast were the sea air destroys everything candle man that gate looked crap no wonder the customer didnt like it stick to house bashing
clint mannion couldn’t agree more mate he should stick to toshing and it was a poor job even with all that timber crap, what’s that all about🤷🏼♂️
Great tip with the vasoline, I’ll be using that!
You need to be maintaining the lines and profiles but, and you cannot do that with a bit of sandpaper in your hand. If you back the paper on a longish flat piece of wood, your job would have went from 7/10- 10/10 for the same effort, you’re blowing out your own candle
Good bit of two partin that m8
Nice one thanks
Hello
How much do you charge per day for residential work
this repair will not last. should of routed the rot out. and used a product called
repair care dry flex.
An excellent job done. An excellent video made. Thank you very much indeed.
Nice cat!
Jigsaw the bad piece out make a replacement pattern out of card board cut a piece of new wood screw the new piece on with stainless steel screws prime, fill, undercoat top coat jobs a good in.
That will be fu_ked in a year's time that's a old school repair get a multi tool cut it out also repair care is a better product
100% on the multi tool and repair care well said !!!!
Clever chap
Just to add mate the filler I believe is the same as automotive and is like a sponge takes all the water in it like sponge Bob square pants song (absorbent and yellow and porous is he)
How are you getting on wit has the cold.must be all damp
Lol.I bet you do.I just done door outside.fucking freezing and fuck all dries.
U remind me of my dad he just got on with it a grafter like yourself
I can do it without a mould because I'm autistic
I could do it with a plastering trowel and cling film. I am only mildly autistic.
Job well done let's just smash some gloss all over the masonry 👍👍🤣
He clearly states that he will do the walls as well after, so what's the problem?
What's wrong with gloss over the masonry? More layers you put on, better water proof it becomes.
Top class workmanship 👍
Where's that then, I missed that bit?
Stroke the cat 😅 ....Good end result!
What a bodge, did you actually read the instructions on the tin?
Waste of time. putty and paint hind many a rent. Rot should be cut out and replace by new timber, then filled and painted
Before the first product, how much of you rotten wood you take
magic
Bodge job. It wants chopping out back to solid wood splicing and fixing with dryflex or desowood. Stick to house bashing.
What the client wants the client gets....you can offer advice on what you think should be the right way forward ...weather they listen or have the budget is another matter all together. This could be an agent property looking for a quick turn around rental? Who knows?
T Tuathal how do you know what the customer wants they might only want it two packed rather than a more expensive option

I agree. It'll last 5 minutes! Would've been quicker to piece in some new timber! These vids are getting worse 😂
It’s only rotting because water is getting in to it from behind, if you don’t stop the cause what good is that repair going to do .
From behind what are you talking about 🤣🤣☕️
It’s England ,not if it rains ,it will rain
