Anyone use Hodgsons Heritage putty?
I am glazing a sash window with thin heritage style double glazed units and the manufacturer recommended using Hodgsons heritage putty. I had heard this stuff was tricky to deal with well that's an understatement!
I am proficient with traditional putty but this stuff is awful. I'm trying to put the right size fillet on straight from the gun but it still needs tooling. Is it best to just hit it once and not touch it again or leave it a few minutes to slightly set then rework it? Will I be able to lightly sand it tomorrow?
What I have done won't look too bad once I have scraped the excess off the glass with a stanley blade tomorrow but I'm not totally happy with it to be honest.
Any tricks I should know?
Thanks, Doug
