I just recently replaced several window panes (neighbor kid busy

I used the DAP 33 glazing compound. I let the compound dry for
several weeks with the window sashes stored in the garage in SoCal.

Today I finally got around to priming & painting. The compound was
still very slightly soft to the touch.

I was too lazy to go buy some "regular" oil based primer so I used
some Zinsser High Hide Interior/Exterior "oil base primer" that I
had left over from some work a few weeks ago.

I primed at about 2:30 today & at 7 pm the primer on the glazing
compound is still tacky to the touch and the compound feels a
little softer than before priming. The air temp was about 70 deg

Am I being too impatient? Did the Zinsser soften the compund? The
Zinsser that I put on wood at the same time is more or less dry but
the primer on the glazing compound is not.

Comments? Suggestions?

Glazing putty is linseed oil and something (usually whiting). Oil paint =
is linseed oil and other stuff.

For paint to dry, the linseed oil has to set up (polymerize?). The =
linseed oil in the putty is slowing it down a bit. As Ransley said, =
"wait".
