The profiles of caulking always arise on the fixed part of the window. First, degrease the area well fixing the joint - Use rubbing alcohol instead of acetone. Then, remove the tape as and when you apply the profile by pressing hard on the window frame. Better yet, you can put on the outside of the window, a frame gasket made of rigid PVC with a flexible portion resting against the woodwork. The profile is cut to size and fixed with stainless steel spikes. This seal has the advantage of also being waterproof.
