DIY Sealing a LEAKING Window 

never tried it. just run finger down the line and have lots of paper towels

Clean with soapy water first! THEN Spray it with a water mister first that way the silicone doesnt stick to your finger and it makes a clean seal!

It sounds gross BUT my late husband and I had multiple rentals and did all of the maintenance. He swore spitting on his finger and running it along the line gave the best finish - and it really did!

in my experience it works, that's how i do the tub/shower area with tape and also where the kitchen counter meets the wall. keeps it very neat.

Welcome, and thanks. Yep it fixed the leak totally. It even survived the hail storm after application.

409 on your finger before running over also = life hack

Absolutely wrong Every major manufacturer says not to use liquids to tool with if you look close enough at their tech manuals. Here is what DOW ( one of the largest silicone manufacturers in the world ) says: NOTE: Do not use liquid tooling aids such as water,soap or alcohols. These materials will interfere with cure, adhesion and create aesthetic issues.

Hi Gloria. In this case I had no idea. So I applied to every place possible. It worked.

Welcome 😊

This WAS my house. Have moved since. Thanks Claudia.

Are you thinking acetone? Will try it.

@@Mity_Moose I do it on aquariums where being leak-proof is critical.

Well, since it does not rain on the inside, I saved on supplies.

Is it working for a wooden window?

@@Mity_Moose Nice video. I'm in a condo 40' off the ground so I don't want to get on the exterior of the building that high off the ground. Management company says windows are my problem, not theirs. So do you think sealing the interior of the window will suffice or a waste of time? Thanks.
