If you are usingrepparttar 100031 retrofit lip, and trimming it to fit betweenrepparttar 100032 wood, then you still applyrepparttar 100033 heavy bead torepparttar 100034 old frame before installingrepparttar 100035 window. But, instead of sealing whererepparttar 100036 retrofit lip meetsrepparttar 100037 stucco, you seal where it meetsrepparttar 100038 wood. Then, you want to be sure to seal aboverepparttar 100039 window, whererepparttar 100040 top piece of wood meetsrepparttar 100041 stucco. Again, use silicone up there. Now, no water can run downrepparttar 100042 stucco wall and get underrepparttar 100043 top piece of wood. Sometimes, though, you might decide not to use a retrofit style frame betweenrepparttar 100044 wood, choosing a block replacement frame instead. If you choose to do it this way, you have to add trim torepparttar 100045 outside. You still want to applyrepparttar 100046 sealant torepparttar 100047 old frame, then apply your trim so it contactsrepparttar 100048 new window as well asrepparttar 100049 sealant onrepparttar 100050 old frame.
