And for the record, the windows were bedded in with compound by the previous person; I think that's why they were so hard to clean out the compound. I ended up breaking out all the old glass to get off the glazing compound and replaced it with new wavy glass from salvaged windows. (shrug) The clay stuff takes FOREVER to dry. They're still sitting in my basement waiting to get dry enough so we can paint them and reinstall in the openings.Sharon Kwilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204757096377140896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688737200861236433.post-37623289126755403342018-01-06T23:18:01.802-08:002018-01-06T23:18:01.802-08:00The Dap 33 is fairly easy to use, but the trick is...The Dap 33 is fairly easy to use, but the trick is to press it in with a very stiff tool (like the backside of a chisel). You want to have only enough putty that you match the inside line of the wood. It takes practice, but there are several helpful YouTube videos that show how to do it. I don't recommend "bedding" the glass in additional putty. It makes later putty or glass removal a huuuuuuge pain in the ass.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831757279235998895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688737200861236433.post-32770760027407450612017-12-27T11:04:36.291-08:002017-12-27T11:04:36.291-08:00Yeah, I ended up breaking all the glass too.

Luckily the panes were pretty small.Sharon Kwilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204757096377140896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688737200861236433.post-12698404162943498592017-12-26T00:29:41.800-08:002017-12-26T00:29:41.800-08:00I ran into some of that cement quality glazing com...I ran into some of that cement quality glazing compound, too. Unfortunately I broke some original panes trying to remove it all. Now I just remove the loose stuff and glaze the voids. I store my tubs of glazing compound upside down so that all the oil doesn't sink to the bottom of the container. I thought about getting the tubes of compound but now I know not to. The window looks good after the repairs. I try not to get too fussy with the compound. It's a lot like drywall compound in that you need to stop yourself from over working it. One last pass it usually the one that screws it up.Jan Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12200868370970054076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688737200861236433.post-67995733567621881792017-12-23T16:11:54.109-08:002017-12-23T16:11:54.109-08:00I'll live. :) I guess I whined too much.

We still have to paint the shed next spring, but having the windows painted and repaired should make that task a bit easier.

I know it will be a relief once you are over and done with them.Barbara H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13624604708371495092noreply@blogger.com
