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
