A request came in to see the progress in my window glazing putty application efforts. So, at the risk of both glazing narcissism and the dullest imaginable blog post in the history of the interwebs, please note the first window I attempted on the left and the last window on the right. I attribute the progress entirely to Eric of Garden Fork‘s useful how-to videos on glazing putty application (video 1 and video 2).
I’m left with two glazing putty inspired philosophical questions:
- YouTube can be simultaneously useful and dangerously distracting. How can you use the internet productively without losing hours to cat videos?
- How do you retain a skill like window glazing putty application when you don’t do it often?
Alas, there is likely no definitive answer to these questions. But, as one things leads to another, please know that I will continue to explain the mysteries of old window repair and replacement. Stay tuned.
