Do you seal window sills in the groove?

[Plupp 173289]

Working on the window sills and wondering what to seal the groove at the top with, i.e., the milled slot where you press the sill in. I was thinking something like a white "MS Multibond" or similar that can be painted over if needed.

Otherwise, have I folded the sheet metal correctly? I plan to put a trim board over the folded part on the gables and then casing on that. Should there be casing underneath as well?

Followed the guide for folding from https://www.byggoteknik.se/vika-fonsterbleck

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, there is no mention of the dice as they have a recessed window.

The smyge will likely be as I have planned.

As I recall, no sealing is used; instead, one nails or screws with stainless steel fastening nails or fastening screws. It should be tight, approximately cc 100.

You don't seal it, but fasten it with bleck screws and then paint.

Well, the question wasn't really about the screws. There are pre-drilled holes and I’m using white bleckskruv. It was just the groove itself that I was thinking about, so that water can't seep in behind it.

This is what it looks like with metal screws and trim. The casing will be added later as well.
