Suitable mortar/filler for "pouring" against sloping window?
A somewhat strange headline...
but as you can see from the pictures, I've removed the old windowsill that was on old window brackets screwed into the wall.
I want to remove the slope and level it so I can place my new windowsill there.
It's up to 5cm deep and then it gets less and less towards the window.
I was thinking of mounting a plank over the hole and then adding/pouring some kind of compound.
But what? Self-leveling compound..? Gypsum? Fine concrete?
I would prefer to be able to sand it a bit if needed?
Any tips on what might be smart?

Are you going to install a new wooden windowsill?
If the slope is relatively consistent across the width of the window, you could take a piece of wood and cut it into a wedge shape to compensate for the slope and then glue it to the underside of your new windowsill.

the new windowsills are in StoneS Stuff said:
Fill with any cement-based product... Fine concrete, plaster mortar B, house fix, tile fix, etc., depending on what is cheap and easy to find.
You may need to drill and insert a couple of screws or pieces of rebar to prevent the cast piece from coming loose and falling down.

which option is easiest to sand? Wondering if gypsum might be a good alternative?useless said:
Is it not a polished edge you can knock off?

You probably won't find anything suitable that can be sanded if you're thinking paint-ready. Choose something in line with what useless suggests and fill.
