Step by step agony - or otherwise known as glazing a window. V1

These are the culprits that cause so much greif ! 

They are

A: tiny

B: stuck down in a rotted weather strip that is full of muck that you cant see

C:  usually rusted or corroded to the point that they have no way to unscrew them

A couple would come out - then you have to carefully bend the old weather strip from around the bad ones and get them

with some needle nose pliers or such without hitting glass

After the screws are extracted and the strip pulled ,  the window will either

A:  fall out by itself

B: require a flat blade screwdriver

C: dynamite

Mine required B on one side and C on the other.

Scrape the old glazing with a sharp razor blade.

After scraping - clean the glass throughly.  Ooh- Shiny!

Make sure the frame is clean and ready for glass.

I got this at an actual 'fire sale'  Half the business burned, this stuff survived on a lower shelf

 (remember stop, drop, and roll?)  It had soot damage to the top of the box but didn't get hot enough to

melt.  It is a sticky- nay, tacky- rubber impregnated with cork.

Layout about an inch more than you need and cut.

Cut the big strip into three equal width strips.

 

Place the 3 strips on the window (make sure you're doing the correct side)

Heres where I differ a bit- to keep the window from sagging in the Texas heat and

hitting the steel window frame - 

Theres a thickness of the glazing hanging over the

edge of the window.
