Dual Glaze® Glazing Compound
Elastic, Linseed Oil-Based Glazing Compound for On-Site, Outdoor Glazing.
Uses: Sarco Dual Glaze® is a knife-grade glazing putty used for bedding glass on-site, for both metal and wood sash.
Features & Benefits: Dual Glaze glazing compound holds a permanent, water-tight bond on wood and metal sash and doors. Easy to handle, it is made with non-drying linseed oil that sets into a firm, tough cushion and adheres tightly to glass and sash. Dual Glaze allows for normal expansion and contraction without pulling away. Ready for oil or latex paint after surface skin has formed, usually in 2-3 weeks depending on temperature and conditions. It is the most versatile glazing compound for glaziers, painters, and homeowners.
Technical Characteristics: Linseed oil-based putty. Should be painted with oil or latex paint after developing a skin. Can be used indoors or outdoors but is recommended for on-site glazing as it is designed to set slowly and benefits from outdoor atmospheric conditions. Apply with putty knife or other glaziers’ tools.

You should prime the sash prior to apply the glazing compound. An oil based primer is preferred, you can use linseed oil. It would be better than not using any type of oil based primer.

Cover unused putty in opened containers with plastic to prevent skin formation. Store in a cool, as cool as possible above freezing, place to keep oils stable. Allow to warm when ready to use. If separation occurs, knead with fist.

I have replaced hundreds of broken window panes. This is by far the best glazing compound on the market. Nothing else comes close.

On the recommendation of Artisan Glass Works in Baltimore Md I used the Dual Glazing Compound for replacing broken panes on two Quaker Meeting houses here in PA. I liked the way it worked and it seems to be setting up nicely. I used a different product on previous replacements and had trouble getting the glazing to set up to paint.
