    Temporary waterproofing of cavity next to window

    Hi, my cavity wall has moved out maybe an inch so the old architrave round the window doesn't cover the gap. It's leaking in. I need something I can put on when wet, maybe waterproof tape that will stick to the bricks as a temporary fix as the upvc trim supplier is closed today and tomorrow! Thanks
