I have leaded glass windows that need to be re-glazed. These windows
have about 45 3X3 inch pieces of glass. That's 180 sides for each
window!! I picked out as much of the old glazing from the windows
using a dental pick. The remaining cavity around the glass is about
1/16" wide and about 1/32" deep. So far, I've spent about an hour
shoving the glaze into 6 pieces of glass. I am using DAP 1012 glazing
compound ("for use with metal framed windows") and a narrow putty
knife. I tried forming a "string" of glazing compond, but it sticks
to my hand, and even if I could get a good string, it would probably
break apart because it would be too thin.

There has to be an easier way. Can anyone give me some hints?

Thanks.

Opps, almost forgot, that's just in inside. Another 180 sides per
window for the outside.

You want sympathy? Because you're unlucky enough to have leaded
windows in your house? ) I dabbled in stained glass, but never got
to the finish stage. Sewing machines are faster ) You have lead
came? Straight or curved joints? How many windows? One story,
accessible inside and outside?

I did a quick search, and found a lot of places selling AmChem Stained
Glass Putty. Found one selling DAP 33 for stained glass, others
selling DAP 1012 for stained glass. DAP's website has tech data; says
not to use 1012 for "channel glazing", and 33 not recommended for
stained glass. Off the top of my head, I'd recommend AmChem. Never
used it. )



Hummm, thanks Norminn. Maybe I need to visit DAP's website.
