Best Window Sill Filler
 

Hi Guys

Something and nothing really!
Can anyone recommend a filler for a gap between the back edge of an MDF sill
and uPVC window frame please?

Gap varies from 1 to 3 mm.

I am looking for a filler that will be long lasting (obviously) and
overpaintable.
Not too struck on using uPVC filler strip, but would consider this if filler
is simply not going to provide long lasting solution

TIA

Tes, the UPVC strips look naff. Use a wooden filler strip and
paint/stain to match. For 3mm you could use a quadrant or round nose
strip.

Sounds like a job for frame sealant ;-), it's acrylic, flexible & will take paint.
There's 2 white ones he

Dry wall plaster(not finishing plaster) you can compress the stuff really
into the crack and it sets rock hard in half hour then paint. oh and it
don't crack as well.

Thanks to all

It's either the quadrant bead or the frame sealer.
Sounds like one of those major life changing decisions that only SWMBO can
make.
