Thread: Window glazing in LOS?

glass glazing not pottery glazing..........

"glazing is what glazer's do"

if you want to take out old putty (glazing compound) and replace it with new it is very simple just lightly heat old/bad putty with heat gun or torch (not a flashlight) and scrape away without breaking glass..if you have the wrong size glass to start with get the right size glass..as for the use of hardwood shims?? thats how they did it in the 1800's nowadays we use push points (which ive not seen in thailand but never looked) to re-glaze the window scrape clean the area where the glass sits then apply light bedding of putty/glazing compound and gently push the glass into the putty/glazing compound (this will prevent the glasss from shifting or rattling) then apply push points as needed depends on the size of the glass(in a pinch you can use small nails tapped in with a nailset, then rough tumb in your putty/glazing compound into the space betwen the sash and the glass.then make pretty with your putty knife(this is the hard part) with an equal slope angle all the way around to deflect rain water common misstake is using too much putty/glazing compound just use enough to fill the gap between the sash and the glass...
also look through the window from the inside when finished to make sure the new putty/glazing compound bead is even all the way around looks better that way and i usually wait until the putty is dry before cleaning the glass as the putty scrapes of real easy with a razor blade when dry..many a window has had to be redone cause the glazier cleaned the glass and messed up the nice glaze/putty job.
when in a pinch or for a small job you can just run a nice bead of layteks calking and paint when dry.......
DON"T use car compound gorilla glue, pl200. silly putty bubble gum it will look like shit.....
if to big a job hire a pro....

Dean, although the Brits are an enjoyable bunch over a bottle of whisky or a beer or ten, they can be pedantic pricks at times. They can't help it. It's like Bad teeth and bad food, I think it's that foggy Isle living that gets to 'em.

"Glazing" or "glazing putty," I always considered glazing to be a verb and glazing putty to be what's in the picture. But it was easy enough to figure out what you were looknig for.

I would imagine that it is available here or some substitute. Lots of wood framed windows in thailand. the latex type wold probably be OK in the heat and humidity here, but as several folks have noted the wood/silcone treatment oughta work out better. Bit more fuss to get them miters right though I guess.

And to the fine English Gentlemen that cannot understand anything slightly different from "that wot I learnt back in ol' Blighty;" please note the label in the photograph. Although I would call it glazing putty, them what makes it just calls it "Glazing." Weird, huh?

Sorry, but you're wrong.

GLAZING IS A PANE OF GLASS.

It's that simple. As previously posted, even the Webster's Dictionary of 'English' states the same.

Just because a putty manufacturer has screwed up their labelling, doesn't mean they're allowed to rewrite the English language.

I suppose you'll all be calling 'a door', 'number 28' because it's got '28' stuck on it?
