How to repair aluminum window frame that had screws drilled into it?
My new house has some really nice, large casement windows. The frame is metal, I assume aluminum. The previous owner drilled screws into the exterior frame - about every 6 inches around the perimeter.
Rather than spend $500 on each window I would like to sand down the heaped up drill hole remnants. Then repaint white.
What is the best way to sand down these drill holes with heaped up metal? What materials should I use?
Experienced advise would be appreciated.
Bondo will do the job and was intended for finishing like paint they use it on cars w/little holes and should work awesomely.you can find it at your home improvement place or at checker or another auto parts place, as for taking things down be careful with a grinder or a drill bit as aluminum is a soft metal and works easily I've got an orbital sander that has less abrasive options and works quite well.
Also you'll need good exterior paint and need to remember to rough up the rest of the window for the new paint good luck
