Mineral spirits on a cloth, keep the "stiff" blade putty knife clean. (I
actually use an old chisel with great success) Don't let the glazing putty
get squishy soft, and pack it against the sash well, pressing against the
wood before forming. The secret the pro's will share is trying to get the
glazing putty no higher than the inside sash. And here is one I will share.
After forming the angle, you sometimes get little splits in the putty
against the class. Wipe your blade with spirits and with as little pressure
as possible draw the knife the opposite direction, don't force it. The
splits will be gone.

DAGS (excuse me - "Did A Google Search") and found a few threads from
waaay back when. I'm in the process of slathering "33" Glazing onto a
bunch of door windows and I'm damn near ready to smash every ****ing
piece of glass I just pointed. What an absolute disaster. Glazing
stuck to everything but the rabbet to which I'm trying to apply it,
little wads of it smushed flat in the middle of the glass,
fingerprints mashed into the corners, six different putty knives all
over the floor....the list goes on. Incompetence rules the day.
WTF?

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGHHH!!!!

Somebody needs to build a better friggin' mousetrap.
