Hi swingers, it's me again with another question.

When working inside my doors (what nice cubby houses they make Smiley) I've noticed the bottoms of the window frames.  They appear to be rusty brown orifices (orifii?) disappearing into the dark.  Is it a good idea to fishoil them?  If so, should I just pour it in or should I try for a more 'scientific' approach?

Spinner,

There is an area of the window frame upright rails that is exposed - that is, not covered with bailey channel. I wire brushed the whole channel, then painted all frames with POR 15 rust preventative paint. Rails were removed at the time.

I then glued the new bailey channel on using liquid nails.

Cheers,

Craig.

Thanks Craig.

I'm actually asking about the inside of the folded box section, not the channel into which you fit the bailey channel.

BTW Craig, did you use any of the metal clips to retain the bailey channel?  Does Liquid Nails handle all the 'retaining' job?

Spinner,

Liquid nails handles the job just fine, and doesn't promote rust like those metal retainers. The guys at Spectrum put me on to it, and the results are great.

Cheers,

Craig.
