Hi Bunnings community,
How would you repair cracks between an aluminium window frame and brick window sill?
They looked like cracks in the paintwork and I started scraping off the loose paint/masonry/sealant? which revealed a gap between the frame and sill (it does not penetrate through to the outside), and there is a hole in one location.
I was thinking
1) continue to scrape away the old paint/loose masonry/ sealant?
2) fill the cracks and gaps with Rapid Spakfilla
3) sand flush (if necessary)
4) light sand and paint over it
5) run a bead of silicone in the corner to tidy it up
If I continue scraping at it and find there is a clear gap, should I just run a bead of sealant/silicone along the gap? (Is the gap there to allow thermal expansion of the Aluminium window frame which means I should not use gap filler?)
crack look like its just in paint work
