FAQs

Can I use this putty on UPVC windows?

No, this putty is specifically formulated for traditional wood and metal frames and is not suitable for UPVC or modern composite window systems.

How long does the putty take to fully cure?

The putty needs to form a skin to be painted, typically within 7-21 days. The final painting within 28 days helps in its full curing and weatherproofing.

Can I paint the putty immediately after application?

No, you must wait until the putty has formed a skin firm enough to accept the actions of over coating. This usually takes between 7 to 21 days.

What kind of sealer do I need for concrete or stone frames?

Use a compatible, appropriate sealer recommended for masonry or concrete surfaces to prevent moisture absorption before applying the putty.

Is this putty suitable for double-glazed units?

No, this putty is not suitable for insulated glass units (double glazing).

Can I use this putty for external window repairs?

Yes, it is suitable for external glazing and fronting of single glass into primed wood and steel frames, provided it is painted according to instructions.

Troubleshooting

Putty remains too soft after 21 days.

Ensure the putty was applied to a dry, primed surface. Avoid application in extremely damp conditions. If applied too thickly, it may take longer to skin over. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Putty cracks during application or tooling.

The putty may be too dry. Knead it in your hands to soften it. Ensure the frame rebate is correctly prepared and that the putty is being applied evenly.

Poor adhesion to the frame.

The frame surface may not have been adequately primed or cleaned. Remove the putty, prepare the surface correctly (clean and prime), and reapply.

Putty is difficult to spread.

The putty may be too stiff due to storage conditions or age. Knead the putty thoroughly before application. Warming it gently in your hands can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation is Key:

  1. Ensure the frame rebate is clean, free from dust, grease, and loose material.
  2. Wipe any moisture from timber surfaces to ensure a dry finish.
  3. Check and re-prime any weathered or missed sections of the frame.
  4. For hardwood frames to be varnished, seal the rebate with a timber sealer.

Application:

  1. Apply putty to the rebate and insert setting blocks.
  2. Place the glass pane, centralize it, and press into the putty to create a 1-2mm back bedding.
  3. Secure the pane with clips or pins, using location blocks for opening windows.
  4. Apply fronting putty and tool at an angle, finishing about 2mm below the sightline.
  5. Brush excess putty with a soft brush to seal against the glass and tool off the back bedding, sloping away from the glass.

Painting:

  • The putty must be painted as soon as it forms a skin firm enough to accept overcoating.
  • Apply the first coat usually within 7-21 days.
  • Apply the final coat within 28 days.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for wood, steel, primed metal, concrete, and stone frames (with appropriate sealing).
  • Do not use directly against laminated glass.
  • Do not use for bead glazing systems.
  • Do not use on insulated glass units.

Care: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
