hoping this is the right place for this quey, having removed the wallpaper to the window reveals, i've found wide and irregular gaps to the upvc windows of my parents house.
The gaps were bodged with lots of white silicone which i've now removed as we are intending on painting, so gaps look like the attached pic.
Can anyone suggest the best way of filling for painting - ie. can we just fill with unibond flexible decorators filler - i've never used it before but it says it can be painted but i'm worried that it says no need to sand means that you have to apply it perfectly with a trowel ?
ideally we'd like to just tak the filler right upto the upvc window frame without applying another bead of mastic at the junction.
