Re: How to fix caulking gaps from window frame to apartment window?

Hello @jshen886 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about fixing the caulking gaps in your window.

 

It appears your current caulking has lifted and is no longer providing an effective seal, I suggest removing the old seal with a  CornerTape Professional Silicon Remover and applying a new sealant. I recommend using Selleys 475g No More Gaps Interior Multipurpose Gap Filler

 

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to repair a cracked cornice (the application technique can be used for your window frame as well)

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
