glazing bow windows on 80 year old house... question about inside window
hi, I have recently relgazed a large bow window on my house. my house
is appox 80 years old. my question is regarding the inside of the window. I am going to paint the inside of the window . Side note- since the windows had very poor glazing- lots of moisture seeped into the inside section of the window and has caused the paint in the house to peel. I am in the process of scrapping the paint from the inside section of the bow windows- this is- inside the hosue.. Is it necessary to put any glaze compound on the inside of the window? or should I just put paint there... Again, the outside have been reglazed- my question is about the inside.. Thanks |

Normally with a window that uses glazing, it only goes on the outside of the window around the perimeter of each pane of glass after the glass is put in against the wood. The other side of the glass just rests against the wood frame of the window. |

Thanks Well, the time to have done any needed repair (other than cosmetic) was while you had the glass out. I like a thin primer or at a minimum soak w/ linseed oil the frame under the glass for some moisture protection but it's too late after having glazed unless you did. The inside is not glazed; just do as any repaint--scrape, rough prep and needed repair then sanding and if weathered an oxalic acid wash to remove oxidized layer that will prevent long-term adherence if present and then normal prep and paint. -- |

wrote: The proper way to reglaze is to place glazing compound before the glass so that there is g.c. on inside and outside. Inside, of course, would be a very thin layer. I agree. Even a small bead of acrylic-latex caulk will seal out any drafts / moisture before the glass is set. Clean any ooze from the inside when cured. Some frames I've used silicone caulk if painting is not necessary. |

The "correct" (or infinitely nit picked) procedure for glazing or re- glazing a wooden window is: 1) apply some thinned orange shellac to the window sash material where the glass will seat and allow it to dry 2) apply a very small amount of glazing compound to the same surface to act as a bedding compound 3) seat the glass and glaze as usual 4) on the inside I typically prep with a bit latex caulk and paint as usual If the sashes have been neglected or moisture damaged, I suggest applying a couple treatments of lineseed oil thinned with turpentine prior to the shellac. I use an organic linseed oil glazing compound. http://www.solventfreepaint.com/window_glazing.htm cheers Bob |

Linseed oil (boiled) is good, tung oil is better. Read the directions on the tung oil container for diluents like turpentine, or whatever, and thin as need to allow maximum penetration. Wipe off the excess as directed, and recoat as reccommended. The cure will take several weeks, after which the wood can be painted. Joe |

Gotta follow label directions/ Here is a link to one of DAP's glazing compound tech. data sheets: http://www.dap.com/docs/tech/00010401.pdf It recommends using an oil-based primer on wood prior to glazing. |
