When we repair or reglaze window sashes in old doublehungs we clean and seal the old wood first, seat the glass in a small bead of painters caulk on the inside, use points to set the glass in place and then use regular oilglazers putty. Problem is with cure time. This stuff is sometimes so soft a paint brush leaves markes in it for a week or two after the glazing job. We can’t wait that long.
Anybody have any tricks to accelerate the process and get the putty to set up quicker to stand up to a paint brush.
Yes, I use a good quality Purdy – not a 1.49 HD special club.
