How long to leave putty to dry before painting?
Putty should not be allowed to dry completely. If it does, then it will become brittle and may shrink and crack. The main purpose of putty is to form a seal between the glass and the wooden window frame. The putty should be painted to seal in the linseed oil which keeps it pliable. A film of hard putty on the surface forms after 2 to 3 weeks (weather dependent) and then the painting should be carried out to stop any further drying of the putty.
How do I make stained glass putty?
I have two recipes for glass putty:1. from Kay O'Neil in Branson, Missouri:1 quart whiting1 tablespoon mortar black (carbon black, available from concrete suppliers)scant 1/4 cup boiled linseed oilabout 1 cup turpentine.Mix the ingredients, adjusting linseed oil and turpentine to your preferences, and let the mixture set for several hours. It should be viscous but not runny.2. from Dave Morrison in Seguin, Texas, comes this recipe, which has the added advantage of allowing you to mix and store the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients separately, so that you can mix up only as much putty as you need for the jobDry ingredients:2 cups whiting1 cup plaster of Paris1/2 cup Portland cement1/2 to 1 teaspoon mortar blackWet ingredients (store in a glass jar):3/4 cup turpentine1/2 cup linseed oilTo make the putty, mix a scant 1 part liquid to 3 parts dry ingredients. Use more or less as you prefer, but again, you want it to be easy to manipulate without being runny.

How do you use window putty?
Linseed-oil based window putty is usually quite stiff and difficult to use when first removed from the can. If so, you can prepare the putty by working it between your fingers, kneading it as you would do with bread dough, until it has the consistency of soft modeling clay. Have a little linseed oil handy, since you may need to add some to the putty if it refuses to soften. But be careful not to add too much oil, or the putty will get wet and tacky, and thus difficult to work with. Once you have the putty in a workable consistency, lay a thin layer of putty in the window frame before you fit the window, as sort of a "bedding compound". Press the new window glass onto the putty. Carefully install glazier points every foot or so, all around and tightly up against the glass, to hold it in place. Glazier points are tiny flat squares of metal with a sharp pointed edge that can be pushed or gently tapped into the window frame. You can reuse the glazier points you removed from the old window; or, in a pinch, you could use small finishing nails. Next, roll a gob of putty between your hands, until you have a long "snake" of putty. Press it up against the glass and the window frame, making sure to use enough putty that it reaches the edge of the window frame. Repeat, all around the glass, until the entire window is puttied. Finally, use a putty knife to remove excess. Smooth the putty at an angle that matches the other windows -- usually about a 45 degree angle bead of putty. You'll need to paint the putty to protect it from drying out. But don't paint the putty until it's firm enough, or it will never harden properly! Check the side of the can for the appropriate dry-time.
Name of the paste for fixing glass panes?

How to Save Money and Time By Replacing Your Own Broken Window Panes?
When you have broke window glass panes it can be costly to hire a contractor to replace these windows for you. This is a simple project that you can complete on your own if you have a few hours to spare.Materials Needed for Repairing Broken Window PanesGathering your supplies prior to being the process to replace broken window panes will save you a great deal of time. This is one project that you do not want to find yourself needing to run for supplies as you are working with the panes of glass. Setting them aside multiple times to locate items that are needed can greatly increase the chances of the new panes of glass getting broken or chipped.To replace broken glass panes you will need safety equipment, which includes work gloves, to protect your hands from any broken glass, and eye protection, so that you do not get shards of glass that may fly embedded into your eyes. You will also need the supplies, such as masking tape, a towel, putty compound, glazier points, a paint brush, primer, sandpaper and your replacement glass. The tools you will be working with to complete this project includes a hammer, putty knife, a chisel or screwdriver and a measuring tape.Preparing the Window Sash for New Glass InstallationBefore you can install the new glass pane into your window sash, you will need to make some preparations. The broken glass will first need to be completely removed. This can be done by applying several strips of masking tape both horizontally and vertically across the window sash on both sides of the glass. This will prevent any shattering from occurring when the old glass is removed. Tap on the glass to break through it so the pieces of glass can be removed. Wiggle out any pieces of glass that are still wedged in the window area, taking care that you do not cut yourself.Once the glass is completely removed, you will need to remove any glazing compound or window putty that is around the perimeter of your windowpane. For hard to remove pieces, you can use a screwdriver or putty knife to pry them out. Make sure that you also remove any glazing points that were used to hold the window glass in place.Lightly sand your window frame with the sandpaper to remove any putty that may be left behind. Do not sand hard enough to remove any of the actual wood design of your window. It is important to use your measuring tape to measure the exact size of glass pane you will need. You can apply a coat of primer around your window at this point if you would like.Installing Your New Glass Pane into the Window SashThe first step you will need to do when you are ready to install your new glass pane is to take a small amount of putty and place it down into the grooved area of the window where your glass pane will slide into. An easy way to do this is to roll a small amount of putty between your hands and then push it down into the grooved area with a putty knife. Place your new glass pane into the sash, making sure you apply enough pressure to mold it to the putty you just applied. Do not apply too much pressure, as this can damage the glass.When your window glass is in place, use a hammer to apply your glazing points around the window to hold it into position. Your glazier points should be located two inches in from the corners and then every six inches around the window frame. Use a putty knife to place putty around the edge of the window pane where it goes into the groove of the frame. For the best security, you will want to make sure you use enough putty to form a triangular shape from the glass of the window to the edge of the frame.You may want to allow the putty to set in your window before reapplying it to your home. This will help to insure that your window glass pane stays in the position you want it to. However, this step is not necessary if time is an issue.
