Hi all,
Approx 3 months ago I replaced a number of window panes, fresh glass and putty.
I left the putty approx 6 weeks before painting (partially due to other work committments). Hence when I came around the painting the putty, it was nice and firm.
Applied a primer, undercoat and 2 exterior gloss (Sandtex).
All seemed to have gone well untill this morning when I noticed that on one window, the paint has lifted and the putty underneath has turned to mush! - Only on 1 window, on the bottom and aboutn 8 inch section - everything other window is fine!
Any ideas why ? Assume water has got in somewhere....odd for it to happen on just one section.
Now - clearly this need to be replaced, but the question I suppose is; When!?
Middle of winter, rain, snow etc - Shall I leave it till the weather imrpoves (weeks likely) or crack on with it now and replace the bottom row of putty ?
Thoughts appreciated,
Ben
