Agreed ady and by the way that was being friendly after your condescending remarks /emoticons/biggrin.png

Resorted to name calling again Smurf,its a simple shop window we are on about here.just don't want the bloke to lose work that's all.

Just a bit of harmless banter Smurfy.

Only discovered this forum by accident and just like to advise people so they don't lose jobs and maybe learn of others.we all have different methods and views and suppose views will clash.end of fella.

Best video I've seen so far on youtube on 'how to trad'.

Maybe it's just me but I think the old boy in it is quality - it's like being taught a skill by your grandad or something.

Anyway 9 minutes well spent when I was starting out /emoticons/smile.png

Whatch Marks video H, you may learn a thing or two

Only thing I would add to that is double back it to the top the corners, especially if there only getting done every 4 weeks+. Will be worse if the sun shines on them too.

If you leave a small gap round the edges (dont hit the sides with the app) they you wont need to wipe all the soap off from the frames.

Also when finishing flat, take half the sguegee of the bottom sill and with the end its still on point it back in to the window and run it flatly along the sill. This will get all the excess soap off the ledge part of the frame. If you follow the above step and this step you should only need to wipe the bottom frame.

Now reading back, that seems hard to understand. I should make a video? lol
