Default Damp under upstairs window. Porous sill?

I think the tranlucent is more like a varnish colour. Another
possibility is a UV stabilised clear expoxy.


Is that 'paint-on' or spread as a skim?


Hi,

Probably best to put it on with a spreader and brush it out. Have a
look for epoxy concrete or driveway sealers for some examples. If it's
a concrete sealer it will need to have UV inhibitors.

Also it's better to seal around the window after the cill has been
sealed, most sealants stick better to a non porous surface, and if the
sealant starts to come away there's less chance of water getting into
the cill.

cheers,
Pete.
