Saffron Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 HelloAny suggestions please re who to use for putty jobs! We decided to repaint all our windows and when we were "prepping" we found that most need new putty. This is definitely outside our modest range of skills.Somebody suggested taking them to the quinccaillerie which sells glass. One test window came back less than satisfactory - very amateurish and uneven.We don't want to ask a painter since we are doing the actual painting ourselves!Living in the far SW north of Pau - so any suggestions for the general vicinity would be greatly appreciated.Thanks Saffron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Saffron, Are you sure you couldn't do it ? I think even I could give it a go and my DIY skills are poor to say the least.A quick search on google bought up some useful advice.Gayhttp://www.quimperclub.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I had to repair putty on several of windows recently (with my own very limited capabilities). To begin with it was a bit of a mess (fingers covered in putty, etc.) but after my efforts improved and became respectable. I guess the mistake I made was not to experiment before starting.I think it is not as difficult as I first thought so might be worth trying.
