Hi all.
I have a customer with Crittalls windows with regular 4mm plate glass.
A few years ago (about 5) I had to replace a pane that didn't survive a football impact. From memory, I used an oscillating saw to remove the bulk of the 50-60 year old putty.
The wedges used to hold the glass in place were not salvageable. From memory, I used a MS polymer on the interior face and a couple of dabs of hot melt glue to lock it off, and then I think I used a linseed oil based putty. I appreciate that is not the correct way of doing it, but they wanted it dealt with on the same day. The replacement glass was laminated.
That pane of glass has been fine, but what is the correct way of doing it?
