Pocster Posted yesterday at 11:31 Share Posted yesterday at 11:31 It’s external - so not a real issue , just awkward . Think of 2 pieces of timber screwed together . You would get that slight gap between the timbers - it’s that bit I need to fill . Did paint them with waterproof liquid rubber but as awkward couldn’t get the brush in there ( can’t actually see into that gap so painted blind ) . So I guess I need maybe a spray type waterproofing solution ( spray and hope ! ) . See them online - just wondered if anyone recommends a specific one / brand . None of this will be visible when done so messiness not an issue ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just rain getting in that gap . Grabbed a random photo of internet . So this type of ‘gap’ - just want to piss / spray something along that bit where the timbers meet .

joe90 Posted yesterday at 13:40 Share Posted yesterday at 13:40 Expanding PU wood glue that’s works on damp substrate. This is my “go to” glue for thst kind of work. Might be a problem tho if you have already covered it in other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , also access is tricky - can’t actually get low enough too see what I’m doing ; hence was thinking maybe a spray like for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted yesterday at 13:49 Author Share Posted yesterday at 13:49 Just now, joe90 said: Can you not protect the area (pic?) Well maybe - just thought a nice spray would be easier for my laziness . Think of a ( wait for it ) walk on glazing upstand . Not THAT one - these are Lightwells external to the build .

Nickfromwales Posted yesterday at 14:41 Share Posted yesterday at 14:41 If waters getting to the other side of untreated wood, then don’t you need to solve the issue further upstream? Just saying….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted yesterday at 19:24 Share Posted yesterday at 19:24 I was looking for the old Seek 'n Seal we'd use around our windscreens as kids with leaky old Fords.
