Default Leaded Windows (stuck on)

Some of the lead on my leaded double glazed windows is lifting in places. It
is only stuck on. Is there a suitable adhesive I can run into the gaps and
press it back down. I don't really want to start removing it and re-gluing
the whole lot - most is upstairs.

I've found Evostick Serious glue good for near anything. But you will need
some method of clamping the bits together for a couple of hours or so
until it starts to dry - full strength takes about a day.

Stretched masking tape across the bars should do it.
