Glazing Recess

[wobs]

I have a new lower sash as part of a renovation of the existing windows, as the old one was beyond repair.

That was the easy bit. THe tricky bit was when the joiner made it too thick, and so went away to machine 3-4mm off the face of it.

The frame is now the correct the thickness, but now the recess for the single glazing is 13mm deep. Is this enough for normal linseed putty?

Glass is about 4mm thick.

I see no issue, glaze way.

Just.

Can't he machine the recess a bit deeper?

Its a time issue (not least as we're going on hols next week). I need to get the glass in, and painted before the weather turns cold.

Joiner suggested using beading rather than putty

*Heresy alert* Or you could use this:-

It's what I use now instead of putty, as putty doesn't go with water based paints.

I've used this firm for mail order, they were quick:-

Worth getting one of these if you do use it:-

Beading is a bodge.
Feltwell's option looks better.

Glazing rebate after the glass is bedded should be half inch, so even before the cockup/machining the rebate was skinny.

edit; one can use Bedec MSP waterbase over cured putty by priming it with two coats of their Stain Blocker.
