Default Sandstone sills at the back of house.

just filling in the chipped sections with "dry wall adhesive" because I know
this will form a better bond and sets rock hard.
Tried to scrape a section of it and its stuck firmly to the sandstone. ;-)
I've just checked it and rubbed it down and its as smoothe as my backside
when I was a baby.
Will give it a coat of primer when the weather looks ok and a gloss finish
coat.

I'll take some pics of it before primer and the gloss finish.

Do you think it'll stand the rain?

Let's hope it survives better than the paint on the brickwork
