Question on re-glazing windows
Finally got around to putting up the screens on the windows and
realized/remembered that I'd wanted to reglaze a few this summer and forgot to. Does anyone know if I can use regular glazing compound or the glazing stuff in a caulking tubes while the temps are in the low 30 to 40s?? I know its pushing it but like I said I completely forgot during warm weather and they REALLY need some attention. Bill |

Question on re-glazing windows
No The regular DAP glazing, 'DAP 33', should not be used below 40 degrees,
according to the manufacturer. See http://www.dap.com/docs/tech/00010401.pdf "NOTE: Do not apply DAP® '33' Glazing when air or sash temperature are below 40°F. Do not apply during damp or rainy weather. Do not apply if rain is forecasted within 24 hours. Do not apply when air or sash temperature exceeds 90°F." If you can fing a 40 deg, or warmer, day then go for it. wrote in message oups.com...
