I have begun to repair the rotted wood on sills, etc. before getting replacement windows. At present, I have large gaps waiting to be filled or repaired. I live in the north east. The cold air outside creates condensation which accumulates at the inside corner window and travels outward to the gaping hole where I had just scraped out rotted wood. I have been advised not to fill and prime until the weather is warmer. Is there a way to prevent these newly scraped gaps from exposure to cold and rain and to prevent condensation collecting until I have the windows replaced? (could be a few months) If not, moisture which will surely add to my rot problem. Will I have to start the sill repairs over again?
