- Glazing windows is harder than it looks. This video will walk you through the basics, but also some advanced techniques as well offer practical advice and troubleshooting.
There are a lot of glazing videos out there, and what this one offers that others might not, is Steve getting tongue tied trying to say “infuriating” when he’s talking about DAP 33. There’s that, but even better is especially during the second half of the video, is the rock solid technique and commentary with 20% of the view blocked by one of the day’s attendants. It will leave you wanting more as you will be constantly catching yourself trying to gently nudge the student’s head a little to the left so you can see just a little better.
Overall the material is very helpful and will surely help even the expert to glaze better.
I restored a set of eight pane windows using techniques I learned from watching your videos. It took many hours but they came out beautiful. My contractor was blown away and said they were nicer than he could have done. Thanks for the great content.
That’s awesome and really nice to hear. Thank you for speaking up and letting me know. It’s like fuel that makes it worth the effort.
Love your videos, but the background music is distracting. Maybe my ADD is kicking higher than usual.
Very informative video and I really appreciate all the tips. I could do without the distracting music, though.
I guess you’ll have to find another channel to learn from.
So all window glazing face the outside of the home and when I look at the manufacturer website for multiglaze type m it says for indoor use only. If you want to glaze outdoor windows it states to use dual glaze from the same manufacturer. The difference of the two is that like you said type m will skin over and you can paint in two days but the dual glaze takes 2 weeks. I'm confused about why multiglaze states for indoor use only.
Multi glaze is intended for shop work but I use it for everything.
what is your "magic dust"?
It’s basically drywall compound from the corporate home store. We call it 20 minute mud. It’s a mix of calcium carbonate and plaster of Paris
Hi Steve. I'm replacing the glass in a bottom sash like the one in this video. I have the sash down to bare wood. When I measure for replacement glass do I include the depth of the channel the glass slides into? What is the best way to get this measurement? Thanks!
Hey there thanks for asking. You do include that measurement up into the channel for the replacement glass. Best way I know to get this measurement is to add a 1/4”, because that’s how deep the channel usually is. To be safe you could add 3/16”. The goal is for it to slide up in there. If the glass does that, then you are good. Another thing to consider is that your end measurement should resemble an even number in most cases.
Lee valley website shows this hammer is unavailable. Any other sources? I'd really like one of those hammers with the rotating head.
I saw that the other day and was surprised. They were the only ones I know who had them. Now I’m bummed.
