The glass is perfect and it's going to look so good! I agree, I think youre using too much putty. It just need a little under the glass to stop vibrations and then 6-7mm on the other side to hold it in place. Cant argue with results though! Wenn weniger mehr ist, denken Sie einfach darüber nach, wie viel mehr MEHR wäre

Make your bedding roll smaller about 6mm in diameter and place it closer the middle edge of the frame and don’t smash it down let the glass do that when you set it. When you do the fill on the opposite side it will lock the window in even though the glazing putty is still soft. You can install all of the glass after the frames are installed with no worries of the glass falling out.

Hi Laura, the windows are lovely but you need to use a LOT less putty. A tiny, thin worm of putty is all that is needed. You ought to have hardly any putty on the actual frame. Great first effort though.

If you're painting over linseed oil based putty, try to find linseed oil based paint (which uses turpentine as thinner instead of white spirit) so that putty and paint slowly harden together, otherwise the putty can pull the paint into wrinkles as it dries out further. With steel frames putty stays soft for a much longer time than wooden frames and it's probably a good idea to support the glass against sagging outward while the putty is still drying

In America, that is called "glazing" a window. I was taught how to do it in a high school shop class that covered home maintenance skills. We did it with wooden window frames, there were these small metal clips that got pressed into the wood to hold the glass in place. The putty was more to make it weather proof.

Love the yellow glass in the centre. Remember to keep the glazing knife really, really clean and then we used to dunk in glass of water just before cutting the fillet. Also get the putty warm an dwell kneaded before running the beads into the frame. Yes you were using to much putty but better too much then not enough. :) enjoy your break.

Window putty/Fensterkitt is literally 2 natural items. Calcium carbonate (chalk powder) and linseed oil (usually boiled linseed aka flaxseed oil, non-edible, rather than food grade, but even food grade would work, but takes longer to harden). We mixed our own (so super cheap). You used an excessive amount but great job!

Fix the frames in position first, you don't want to be breaking the glass Grab a handful of putty and feed it through your thumb basically scraping it onto the frame, press the glass onto the putty so you can see it seal all round, it won't fall out due to suction, make the fillet for the other side Might be an idea to watch vids on puttying in windows. ;)

This is exactly what glaziers did to replace broken windows when i was a child. Long before the term double glazing became commonly known. Its more of a faff working up a ladder than on a table, admittedly. Placing the initial putty and then screwing the frame into place might be the easiest way. Adding the glass in situ right away gives room to move with a drill for screws. Just a thought.

Um die Scheiben aus schönem Tischkathedral Glas sauber zumachen, einen alten Socken mit Kreide füllen und über die Fettrückstände tupfen, dann mit einem trockenen sauberen Tuch sauber putzen. ( kann man auch machen wenn der Kitt noch nicht trocken ist.) Der Kitt den du verwendest ist Stahlfenster Kitt, wenn er trocknet bleibt er noch leicht elastisch um die Ausdehnung zwischen Metall und Glas zu überbrücken bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen, ist nicht ganz aus natürlichen Inhaltsstoffen.

Translation for the poem at 1:20 (from Google Translate): "All people have to die, Except the old glazier, He is made of putty and shards, And the devil won't eat them!" If I were to take a crack at transcribing to preserve the rhyme: "All men must one day pass, Yet the Glazier, he escapes. Made of putty and broken glass, He is not to the Devil's taste." Or maybe: "All men must one day pass, Yet the Glazier, he stays out, Made of putty and broken glass, He would cut the Devil's mouth." The original rhymes "nicht" with "nicht", though, so I'm embellishing a bit here.

Windowputty basically consists of a linseed paint base thickened with claypowder. It dries really slow because the linseed oil dries because of oxidation with the o2 from the air. Put in a thin strip on the frame, press in the glass and put a thicker strip on the top of the glass. Don't make it any wider than the windowframe and press it in with your fingers. Than cut it in a shallow triangular shape using the putty knife. That works best with the knife dipped in linseed oil beforehand. Success and have fun! Ps this is est done withthe windowframes fixed in place first. Love the look of those windows in place!

We learnt how to glaze a window when we were about 10 years old. We were forever smashing windows at home due to playing football and cricket in the garden and our father got sick of mending them so he taught us to fix them ourselves. The steel frame and obscured glass look that you have achieved is the 1960s British public toilets style of window.

Using putty is the traditional way which we were taught years ago in a painting appreticeship. You would have to paint it afterward, making sure you covered the edges to make sure the putty never dried out. Nowadays, here in Canada, window companies use caulking, you can use a caulking gun, it's faster and easier (and therefore cheaper) and the caulk never dries out. Plus the caulk comes in a variety of colours. You don't want the putty to dry out because then it shrinks, fails too stick to the frame and falls out, with the caulk that's never a problem.

I love the fact that Laura and me are the same age (technically I'm four months older) but since I grew on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain, I know exactly what window putty is and how it's used, because we didn't get modern windows until the early 2000s, so I was old enough to have to replace by myself a window pane I accidentally broke before my parents got home... Also, window putty is indeed natural, it's made from powdered limestone and boiled linseed oil.

It helps to wet the putty knife with a bit of water (or just a little bit of spit). The putty is (origanally) mainly chalk and linseed, so it helps prevent the oily putty stick to the knife. That way it doesn't pull the putty away from the frame.

In wooden windows, you put down the first layer of putty, then glass, then glazing points. Then you finish with putty. You need something to replace the glazing points, as they are pushed into the wood, with a putty knife. You need tiny "L"-brackets, to screw to the frames. Without them, the panes can fall out, as the putty shrinks.

The putte is 100% natural, it is just chalk and lindseed oil. As a glacier from dennmark it was quite nice to see a novice have a try at kitte Ein fenster. The knife you have is actually a corner knife, it is only to make sharp corners. There is another knife for making the longer runs. You have to paint the putty, because it dries out and falls out. Actually traditionally putty does not work very well with metal, although it is traditionally used. I usually use a caulk for glass when putting it in metal frames. Traditionally the lindseed oil is sucked into the wooden frame and makes a connection that way. That is also why you have to paint it, so it does not say out. Lindseed oil based paint can also be restored just by rubbing new oil on it.

Window putty was used in Mexico up until the 80's, probably 90's in some parts of the country. I remember glass workers replacing glass at my grandmother's house and, as I recall, they used pretty much the same amount of putty as you would use silicon to mount glass. Those guys used a finger to apply the outside (visible) part of the putty, to have some resemblance of a reference. Best of luck with everything!!

If the putty is cold work it in your hands until it doesn't feel cold any more so raising its temperature to body heat also cleaning your hands incorporating all the excess on your fingers and then apply it, the window will seat better. when triangulating the putty spit on the knife blade beforehand (if more oil is not available) this will stop drag and leave your putty less separated from glass and metal. hope these tips help it has certainly made my replacements easier over the years. love the channel. never give in never surrender.

We have the same style windows here in Greece, usually though the frames are made out of wood. What I do know, is the glass is first held into place by nailing into the frame and then the putty is used to seal the window. I fear the putty alone, will not hold the glass over time, especially the larger panes. Also, yes, you are using a wee bit too much putty :P ... having said that, they are going to look GORGEOUS when they're done! 💜

4 to 8 weeks, indeed ! We wrote messages with our nails in it when I was a kid ! 😅 And yes, the quantity is way too much. But it will stay in place, even after 120 years. (12:12 I learned how to drive while looking 90° and still keep on track, useful for shooting out of the window... 😎 Or simply avoiding going off the road while changing the radio station ! 😇)

The thing with Fensterkitt is that it never fully dries. The day it cures is the day it cracks and falls out :D original Fensterkitt only consists of linseed oil and chalk. Please only paint it with linseed colors. There is a black available. Also why we are on it - linseed colors can be used on any material. Wood, Plaster, Metalls, some plastics etc. So f.e. you can paint the wall behind the stove in linseed paint and have a washable wall. If the color gets dull just oil the wall with linseed. Also you can paint metals with linseed paint containing zink and have a colored and also rust protected paint on your metals. Can also be used as a rust prevention primer painting over it with a different color of your liking. linseed based products are amazing old tech.

Those transom windows look great!! Don't forget to pick a space in the attic to hide treasure!! Maybe hide some extra panels of glass, or an old and rare hand tool....or maybe a valuable coin. Or, just put the receipt from the celebration dinner you have when it is finished, and have everyone sign it. Have a great week and a fantastic vacation!!

The putty is called Glazing Putty in English. Complete dry time is more like eight months or longer. Depending on the environment. But sets up in about 60 days.

Don’t know about Europe, but this was a common feature of turn of the century homes in US. They are called transom windows above doorways that opened for air flow.

I grew up using Linseed Oil Putty. Now days the "go to" solution is silicon sealant ~ it doesn't harden (glass cracking issue) but remains semi-flexiable. I learnt 50 years ago how to install glass with putty; now my preferance is modern products.

We used to have windows like that. I think the glass goes flat against the frame and make a triangle of puddy to hold in the window. It's going to look great!

😂we did this puttying as kids when a ball broke the window. Usually you have the frame up then put in the window. We also had a wooden frame so put in a piece of putty in each corner to hold the window and then knocked in little nails to hold putty then finished puttying. No paint brush was used. A damp knife smoothed the putty. Nice to know I can do one thing you can! I am bad at all the rest😂 Your frame will expand and contract with temperature variations. A little gap between glass and frame will help. Love your programme you are an inspiration!

I love that you just go for things. You are using quite a bit more putty than required. It doesnt hurt anything but may take longer to fully cure. You just need a pillow layer for the glass to lay on to prevent glass from touching metal. Regading dry time of 5 weeks, the clay portion dries faurly quick but the linseed oil in it needs to breathe a while to fully set, so dont paint it for a at least a few weeks or the oil inside may never cure.

Hello! The interior window glass is lovely with its amber tone and watery texture. I used to help my father putty the 200-year-old windows in the Pennsylvania, U.S. farm house in which we grew up. I love Felix and am, too, so glad you found friends in each other.

We have windows on our garage that have been puttied. They are probably around 50 years old and are exposed to winters of -30 C and summers of +30 C. The putty is only now starting to dry out and we will need to replace it, but none of the glass panels have fallen out.
