I made these sashes and the box frames over 20 years ago, and they have
been very sadly neglected. Having purchased a nice selection of Mighton's draughtproofing products, I have been removing the sashes to apply them. This is what the top meeting rail and bottom rail look like: https://i.ibb.co/fx5HWqF/IMG-20210615-164657.jpg https://i.ibb.co/jT4rzgT/IMG-20210615-164705.jpg https://i.ibb.co/TkpTtgB/IMG-20210615-191213.jpg https://i.ibb.co/kqsWRxT/IMG-20210615-191221.jpg https://i.ibb.co/ZThN0bt/IMG-20210615-191235.jpg On another window, I did a proper job and replaced the rotten rails, but this one I'm hoping to bodge. Am I expecting too much of wood hardener/filler? |

Am I expecting too much of wood hardener/filler? Likely, yes. If you've chosen a wood which rots easily - like most you'll find today - any filler, no matter what, won't last that long. -- *Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
