pics aren't visible.


Visible here, but paint seems to be on the outside of panes behind the
beading (not between the panes).


Paint has run into the narrow gap between the outer glass surface and
the wood making a weather seal by capillary attraction. It might have
been cosmetically preferable to have used black undercoat or clear
varnish as a seal up against the glass so that it wouldn't show.

I don't like using masking tape on windows anyway it just needs a steady
hand to paint them properly.

BTW It could do with sanding down and another coat of gloss.
