Hi all

I am in the process of sprucing up my wooden windows. I've removed the old sealant, sanded them down, repaired, and tomorrow I start on the painting...

What I'm not so sure about is how best to tackle the sealing (of the glass to the beading). I've been looking on youtube and most of the videos there show you how to use putty, and I don't think that would work with my windows. Those seem to be windows that have thin frames and no beading, and the putty forms a beading (and seal) of sorts. I'm sure there are technical terms for all these things but it's all pretty new to me!

I can't find info on how to tackle the kind of windows I have, and I think part of the problem is I don't know the key terms and so cannot search properly. I'm sure there's a lot of relevant info out there, I just can't seem to find it.

So any helpful pointers to get me on my way would be much appreciated. Direct advice or just some basic info so I know what to look for would be great.

Cheers

Max
 
Hi

I wasn't able to take a photo today unfortunately, but I've got some old ones which will give a good enough idea of what I have. I've tried uploading them to the thread but it says "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached." So here's links to the photos on Google Drive:

Goggle "glazing butyl putty" you an get it in a cartridge for easy application with a skeleton gun

Is that more for when replacing glass as well, or can it be used with the glass and beading in place? All the vids I've seen so far where putty is used seem to be on windows where there is not wooden beading/moulding....

Many thanks
