window cill

Hi A few years ago we had a uPVC Conservatory fitted. The guy who put the uPVC window cills on sealed around the edge and then I am sure he used a chemical on a cloth to harden the sealant, The cills have since settled and I need to redo them - I'd like to harden them off again rather that...
