I glazed windows in an old house we bought when I was in my late 20's. I taught myself by reading in how-to books. There was no U-tube or anything like it. I got pretty good and developed my own technique. Im finding that luckily I adapted good techniques. I am about to be glazing a bunch of new (historic reproduction) sash for an old house we've had awhile and are wanting to sell. Wish me luck! And thanks for the video! Parrish

Not a bad video, better than most. Not sure why you would use joint compound that essentially gets hard over time vs whiting (aka ground caulk) which promotes the skinning over of the glazing in addition to soaking up the oils. I'm curious of the effects of the 20min drywall mud long term since glazing remains flexible allowing the glass to move in change of seasons. Load better than the guy that glazed a window without points!

Great video! Very informative, it is a lost art!

[treystills]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing

[bombocropper]

Excellent tutorial, great technique!!

[simclardy]

great video. I appreciate the different videos you have on this subject. watching it in real time and also bit by bit. This video helped me understand your running pick better. I was not sure you where using the wood as a guide. ps. I restored 10 windows on my 1865 Greek revival and was starting to get the hang of it. Your videos are getting me to the next level. We are looking to sell and buy an old farm house and I don't feel as daunted by the window repairs necessary. cheers

[elizabethjones]

Excellent as always, and kudos to camera operator!

[nmeister]

Thank you for this excellent guide. Very well explained, at a great pace for a complete novice like myself 🙂

Ive just started doing an eight lite window on my garden shed (likely a cast off from a house 60 years when the shed was built). Took me best part of an hour and several retries, but finially got the putty looking clean and sharp. I wouldn't have had a hope in hell just going off the instructions from the glazing putty 😂

Only seven more to go 😅

Thank you so much for the tip about the line for glazing putty and glazing points

[georgecheney]

I certainly like the putty knife technique. After deglazing old windows, removing old hard/cracked putty, etc, I usually pre-prime old sash before setting any glass. I also use painter caulk for the glazing set because it is easier to press out. I also tend to go with the rolled out 'ropes' of glazing putty for loading the glass prior to the putty knife set. Will try your way I am sure. I have also simply pressed in putty with the knife blobs along the mullion rather than my thumb or 'rope'. Your method looks like it might be a lot faster at the putty on glazing phase.

Great tips, thanks for sharing your technique

[markmanning]

Great technique then I’ll be sure to try.
You don’t prime your windows before you glaze?

[peterblake]

Enthusiasm is no substitute for experience This was a truly great video - thanks for sharing.

[johnburcks]

Well THAT helped! I can do it, but now I can do it better!! Thanks!

Glazing putty is going to dry up and start to fall out within two years. You need to prime all bare wood with oil base primer to keep the oil in the putty from absorbing into the wood. A bent putty knife is a more professional tool and creates more pressure on the putty which forces it into all the cracks and crevices in the wood eliminating any air bubbles. Applying glazing putty with your non dominant hand and using your dominant hand for the putty knife only, allows you to use the ball of putty in your non dominant hand to pick up residual putty. This technique keeps your putty knife spotless and your putty in one area. For your bedding putty soften it by mixing it with a little linseed oil or a small amount of paint thinner. This makes the putty softer and you will just push down along the edge and eliminate the use of that sander that can pick up debris and scratch the glass. I've owned a glass shop for 52 years so I guess I'm considered a professional. i give you a lot of credit for your video on this lost craft and I hope my comments can help your viewers who need to do major window repairs.

that electric sander trick is brilliant
