Hi
I am going to renew the outside of bay window and just to check I have the steps right.
Using a heatgun I am going to strip off all the paint, then with woodfiller fill everything, sand down using 3 grades, primer + 3 top coats.
Things I am less about is :
1. at the bottom the leadwork is ugly but I think I will leave it as is - I have read discussions to that effect on diynot
2. at the bottom of the uprights the lead is tacked into the wood. So do I need to caulk that area with decorators caulk ? Or wood filler ?
3. on the sides of the frames there is an interface wood to masonry > is that caulked as well ?
4. the window itself, the lower edge is not soft or anything but it is worn and not a straight edge ... should I just woodfill that and sand it ?
5. is woodfiller or resin repair epoxy better - is there much difference ?
Cheers
