Hi all, the wooden lintel above the window in the pic was water damaged (long since dry) so I have removed the paint and cleaned. A few areas need wood filling but there are two things I don’t know how to do before redecorating:
1 The narrow facing edge needs to come up flush with the painted masonry above. It’s about 3mm shy. Not sure what product to use for this?
2 The underside is an uneven mix of the original wood and some old yellowed coating of something that won’t budge. What would you apply to smooth the entire area? I don’t think sanding will do it. I’m guessing a two-part wood filler isn’t the right thing?
Any advice gratefully received.
Many thanks, Johnny
