This is what i enjoy about P&D. Questions and answers on a sensible level. I have been in building for over 40yrs, have used loads of your techniques, which always work, as long as you put in the prep work, to accomplish the final result.

Great job as always. I would have chosen CT1 to seal the window, bomb proof and easy to clean with hand wipes.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thanks, yes good stuff that CT1.

[@jackwardley3626]

UV destroys Ct1

[@setter55]

Have you tried the CT 1 sealant, great for jobs loke this. Can be over painted unlike traditional silicon sealants.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Yes I have used it before good stuff if used correctly. Thanks

I would have filled it with frame sealant.,but it wouldn't have looked anything like the finish you got. Could you explain to a novice why you paint diluted pva on before the foam. What would have happened if you had just put foam in by itself?
Cheers, great job.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

PVA helps reduce the suction of moisture from your paint or paste. Also helps in adhesion as it's a glue and is a reversible material. When it gets wet it softens and then dries with the paint holding it in the substrate. Thanks

@@PaintingandDecorating Thanks for your quick reply, love your channel 👍

[@jbclassics]

Looks a tidy job
Have you thought of using sbr instead of pva. It is waterproof and dries quicker than pva. Also Ct1 is paintable waterproof and does not shrink or crack. Just a suggestion

[@PaintingandDecorating]

It's not a good idea using waterproof solutions. The paint is waterproof and needs to soak in to key. Thanks

@@PaintingandDecorating that's why a bit of knowledge is dangerous and every day is a learning day. Thanks👍
