Default Best way to re-glaze leaded glass windows

best way? remove it and do it flat like it was built originally.

possible way, since you can't remove it? try posting in rec.crafts.glass.
there's some pro's in there who do this for a living, and whilst it can be
done vertically, it's a lot harder and be expected to pay somewhat more for
it. the process is to take a lot of putty into a stiff natural bristle
brush, and work it into the came. you then wait a bit for it to harden, and
then use whiting in a different, new, scrub brush to remove the excess.
repeat on the other side.

Have you actually applied putty with a brush? This isn't rocket science
- putty can be put in with a knife or finger. The online catalogs
almost tell one enough. The fact that the window is set in brick is
kind of unfortunate, but.......if it crumbles with age, a new one can be
made. Get the putty nice and warm, smush it in.
