 Waxoyl inside toe board void Hetty has a replacement toe board, I was thinking of cutting two small holes about 6" in from the sill to enable me to get wax into the void where they typically go.
Am I ok to do that? It won't weaken the structure?

Re: Waxoyl inside toe board void It may catch fire when being welded back up?

Re: Waxoyl inside toe board void Hopefully the waxoyl will negate the need for welding in the forseable future

Re: Waxoyl inside toe board void Go for it Sam. Bore holes everywhere and use a spray nossle which spray in all directions. Sounds sexual.  Just plug the holes afterward with plastic plugs removeable for next time

Re: Waxoyl inside toe board void The waxoyl 'kit' I have contains a long tube with a 360° sprayer on the end of it - would just need a single small hole in the middle as would reach all the way across.
When you've done yours, do mine please, I can't be arsed.

Re: Waxoyl inside toe board void If you've got one, use a compressor and schutz gun, rather than a hand-pump squirty. And don't confuse "waxoyl" the proprietary with the concept - there's much better out there. http://rust.co.uk/ have a wide range of rustproofing wax.
