    Hello! Would this process work on a window sill that is inside? I have a window in my bathroom, in the bathtub area that has rotted. The structure seems fine, but the whole bottom window sill needs to be replaced

      Yes this should work there too! Generally speaking just cut out the bad bits and epoxy some new bits in so long as you have enough access to get the new piece(s) in.

    Why do you use epoxy instead of wood filler? Whats the epoxy called so I can buy it? Thank you. :)

      Wood filler is not meant for high build applications and it doesn't last like epoxy.
      Epoxy is stronger than timber and doesn't crack like other fillers
      Here's a link to the one I used

    I hope you see this. My windows slide up to open. I have two where the bototm of the windows under the pane are rotten out. The windows arent removable. My thought was to cut the rot out. get a new piece of wood dimesioned right. Cut in half so i can fit in and glue the two parts together as they are being glued to the window. Not sure. I need new windows but trying to just keep these windows a year or two more to offset the costs.

      I'm very surprised the windows aren't removable, double check this is true.
      I've used a similar technique when replacing floorboards. your problem is you may accidentally glue the window shut while trying to glue in new timber. Give it a go because it sounds like the worst case is you need a new window, best case, you need a new window.

      @@dingeldiy I need all new windows they are all wood from
      92 along with my exterior siding . I’ve paid for the house just wanted to try and keep the window good for a bit longer to offset some spending. I’ll try and figure out who made the window and if there’s a way to remove. They are are double hung windows so you’d think I should. I know all the shitty vinyl that the window people who stop by show me pop out

    What hard wood do you use?

    • @dingeldiy
      @dingeldiy  3 місяці тому

      Vic ash or Tassie oak. If its a door/window sill sometimes I use merbau. Generally speaking it's good to match the replacement timber to the original timber.
