I have a concrete windowsill at home, but I want to change that without spending too much money. I also dont want to break any of the concrete, but I want to cover it. I have found this windowsill cover: https://buitengevel.nl/categorie/vensterbanken/lignodur-overzetvensterbanken/?_gl=1*z413p2*_up*MQ..*_ga*ODUzNDE4MjQ3LjE3MTc1MDI4MTU.*_ga_GT0J1CMM7W*MTcxNzUwMjgxNS4xLjEuMTcxNzUwNDA1MS4wLjAuMA..
Is it possible to just glue over the concrete? I’m afraid that the concrete will suck too much of the glue for it to do it’s job properly…
Or is there something like a primer I need to use, so that the glue will be as strong as possible?

Covering a concrete windowsill without breaking it is feasible. Before applying the cover, ensure the concrete surface is clean and free of debris. Using a primer specifically designed for concrete surfaces can enhance the adhesion of the glue. This primes the surface, optimizing it for better adherence of the cover. Additionally, researching the right adhesive suitable for both concrete and the cover material is crucial. Consider exploring Amazon keyword research to find suitable primers and adhesives tailored to your project needs. With proper preparation and the right materials, you can achieve a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.
