    Galley window leak

    I suspect l have a pinprick hole in my galley window
    I am thinking of pouring some radiatior sealant into the frame after first blocking up the drain holes
    Will use hot water like a radiator
    Good idea or not

    There is some special stuff just for windows..... Capt. Tolley's penetrating sealant.
    Check that out.

    I've used it on leaking frames/rubber seals and it seems to do the trick.

    Might be better to remove and reseal the frame. Even a small leak will rot the plywood under the harder veneer. You won’t see the magnitude of the problem until it’s a big problem.
