BEFORE placing the glass apply a small but continuous amount of putty against the rabbet in the frame. Then press the glass into this bead so the putty squishes out on the interior side of the glass and secure the glass with glazing points. Then apply the exterior bead of putty as shown. The glass should be bedded in putty on both its interior and exterior surfaces.</p> <p>Also, applying boiled linseed oil (or priming with an oil base primer) is NOT optional. With out this sealing of the wood the bare wood will suck the oil out of the putty and the putty will fail in a few years.</p> Fri, 16 Jul 2010 09:20:55 -0700 Anonymous comment 288 at http://renovatedsm.com
