Thanks for the reply John. That sounds interesting, except it might not be
practacial for my situation. The windows are about 5 feet tall, and about

2
1/2 feet wide. I can't take the windows out of the wall, so I would think
the cement would run all over the place. I'll have to see if there's a
less messy way of doing this.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Dave


All I can suggest is that, since the windows were certainly not created in
place they must have previously been installed. And what can be installed
can be de-installed (but not always easily of course). Given the size of the
windows though, it might be safer for mind and body to call in a
professional glass company and have them do the task. Especially if the
glass has some serious monetary value. The normal method of
cementing/sealing leaded glass pretty much demands that the panel be flat so
that the whiting can be put on and then scrubbed off -- this seems to carry
across all the commercial cements and glazing compounds.
