The nail went wrong, how do I make the space tight and nice?
Set window reveal. And when I was almost done with the trim, a brad nail made a good turn and went straight up through the reveal. Luckily, I didn't have my hand there...
Of course, in the lower reveal. In the bathroom. Small but still increased risk of water.
- I feel that it's important for it to be sealed in the best way (without tearing everything down).
! Pulled out the brad nail.
? Now considering if I should take a small drill and drill a bit to remove the crater.
? Then fill with wood glue?
? Or is filler more watertight?

The nail changed direction and went out at an angle through the frame, creating a larger exit hole. TS now wants to tidy it up.
Go to the company where you bought the foder and smyg. If it's a well-stocked company, they might have paint in small cans, like tippex size with a little brush (50kr max). Please write what brand the foder and smyg was. If we have the same, I can give you the color code, otherwise, maybe someone else has the color code for your specific foder.
carpentry putty on your finger
dab in the hole
let it dry for a few minutes
wipe off with a damp cloth (be gentle so you don't remove the putty in the hole)
wipe away excess putty around the hole, it turns yellow. Check from different angles to see if you've missed any.
dab some paint,
let it dry
it's worked for me, if you're careful it turns out well.

But surely you don’t pour water into the window recess?Yrrol said:
Put a piece of tape over the hole and place a flower pot there, and it will be fine.
For example, one like this

Or, as others say, fill and paint over.
