My first time using DAP, and I just need advise on how to apply. You gave even more helpful hint on the tool. Thanks, I feel more confident apply task at hand.

Very clear and simple instructions. Sooo helpful. Thank you!!

Great video, it's been about 45 year ago that I had to glaze a window and it was a job I hated to do, your video showing the latex makes glazing look easy.

A good tip that I learned from an experienced handyman was cleaning the putty knife after use by scraping it with a utility knife. He took the knife and would scrape the blades of the putty knife until they were squeaky clean. Great video, I usually use the DAP that comes in a container, but after seeing this video I'll probably purchase it in the tube form. Thanks for sharing and keep the videos coming.

Great work and voice. Nice to see honest pride of work in a youngster. You’ll have a good life. God Bless

This was very helpful. Broke a window and was able to get it replaced myself with help from this video

This is a helpful video. I used the traditional glaze today on replacing a single small broken pane of glass. Next time I will use the latex in a tube, hold the tube nearly straight at a 90 degree angle to the glass and place a very small bead of clear silicone on the frame to start with. Good job and thanks!

I love this I am restoring old windows for decor wall purposes. The window glazing putty is a pain. This looks so much easier didn’t know they made a dap window glaze for a gun.

This is the best instructional video I've seen for reglazing windows.

Thanks for the video. You saved me a lot of time because I started using the oil based one and I haven't cleaned the windows good enough. And I was using my finger with nitrile gloves on and the gloves would get too tacky after a couple of minutes. Then I realized I must be doing something wrong here. Thanks , sometimes simple things go along way in making life easier.

ness9111 your welcome.

For novices: If you haven't used a caulking gun before, you'll notice that usually there is a small wire "rod" on the bottom side of the gun that is held in place by a screw that allows it to be folded back out of the way, or swung to the front where it sticks out like a bayonet. That little rod is used to slip down the opening of your caulking tube nozzle to break the aluminum seal.

Thank you! I had to replace the window in an old barn that blew out in a storm. It might have been oil based, but it was so old that most of the paint was pealing off. So I sanded it down really well (yes, I used a mask, and maybe it was even lead based paint from 100 years ago, so I probably should have used an N95), then I used water based primer (2 coats) then latex outdoor paint (2 coats). Bought the DAP 33 for the glazing, and after reading the instructions realized I couldn't use it because it was for oil based paint. So after several other searches on what to use, I found your video and will do the DAP latex glazing and give it a try. I appreciate the video, it gives me more confidence, since I've never done this before. I already had my points in before watching this video. I had purchased points at the hardware store, but found my Dad's old points from years ago. I guess he did this himself too, but he's not around so I can't for his advice. Another video suggested I place a small bead behind the glass to seat it, so I'll do this too. Keep up the good work, I'm going to use your technique!

Very well explained, Thank You. Now I know how to do it. Going to glaze a couple window panes that I just replaced

Thank you so much for showing me how to use it :) I bought the Dap in the tube but I didn't know exactly how to use it :) Now thanks to you I do !

Great tips - thanks man! Trying to decide between this and Sarco type M.

Thanks for putting out the video, nice techniques, especially tooling off the compound. I'd add a couple things: prime the rabbets and let dry. DAP calls for a thin back bead and glazing points. If your interiors are stained use clear silicon. The pro-tips of having a little container of water and two rags are key. Well done

Glad I watched your video before I busted out the oil based putty! Your way is so much easier............thank-you, Yvonne (London, Ontario)

I am working on glazing the windows to my garage and found this video incredibly helpful. Thank you for posting!

New to the cartridge method, thanks for the tips and listing all the advantages of this product vs. the old oil based procedure…

Tanks for the video. I was ready to quit but now I have tips to a good performance.

First you should put a thin layer of compound on the wood to embed the glass into for a better seal. Next 'prime' the wood with linseed oil, penetrol, floetrol, even paint primer so that the dried wood doesn't suck the moisture out of the glazing compound too quickly. This makes for a slower cure time and better adhesion.

That's true with putty. The product he's using is laytex. Wood doesn't suck stuff out of it. No oil needed. He tells you all of this in the video. If you check on the sides of your head you'll find these things called ears. They allow you to hear sounds other people are making. These sounds are called "words" and allow them to communicate information to you.

After reading the comments on this video, while it may not be the perfect method, at least he might inspire people to save their old windows, instead of horrible vinyl replacements. When I started to get into old windows a few years ago, I re-glazed the old windows in my bedroom with the same method he's using. Now, I am starting a side job on a large, historcal commercial building downtown (20-some plus huge windows). Strip the paint, oil-based primer, back-bed with Dap 33, set the glass, face-glaze, prime glazing, then 2 coats of finish paint. My point is, everyone has to start somewhere, and learn from their mistakes. So don't hammer the guy!

If your just doing windows I would agree but as a professional painter who has to get a 3200 sq ft exterior painted in a week with 20 plus windows that need glazing knowing 33 glazing does not properly set to paint within a week tube glazing has been a life safer.We bed it, Use our points and once we run the glaze out the tubes we gently run our fingers come back the next day it's ready for prime...Will agree if you have the time and are looking for a more professional look your way is the way to go..In business you have to know what makes since & what doesn't.

No good deed goes unpunished Mr. Craftsman. No need for the yippy yappy putty snob critics to attack you like that. (As a complete beginner I take to heart their point about the points but the way some went about it with their noses out of joint and sticking straight up in the air just ticks me good.)

I have some French doors that we purchased in Santa Barbara, CA that were used by George Washington Smith. He was an architect who built beautiful Spanish style homes around 1918-1930. The doors are awesome but a few are in need of repainting and TLC. I had no idea what window glazing was and was wondering what the stuff was that was breaking off of the glass by the wood....

Good demonstration using the Dap latex window glazing. Up to this point I have only used the Dap 33 glazing compound and I am tired of the drying and cracking from several years of thermal cycling. I woulld reccommend seating the pane of glass into the frame on a bead of glazing compound applied to the frame as a seal. This will also "float" the glass pane in the compound.

Hey man very simple informative video, keep up the great work

Good question, for this particular window I did not use them since they are only small panes of glass. I case of larger panes I would, Many older windows with divided light like this example did not use them. On a large window you should, it would make it easier to install and just support the glass more I do not feel that the points would be any advantage in this case and would just ad another step, expense and time. Thanks for asking and be sure to subscribe!

It is important to bed the glass into a tiny bit of putty on the other side of the pane to stop moisture penetration on the other side.

No it isn't. 1. This is laytex, not old fashioned plaster of pairs crap. It gets squished in there by the tube action real good. Better than you can jam mud into the crack with a fingie. 2. You're far better off just putting a silicone sealent on the other side of the window once it's dry to 100% airproof and water proof the panes. 3. Frankly you should be getting a modern window that wont poop all your heat out of your home in the winter.

Thanks for a well done demonstration .... I learned a lot.

I started using DAP latex window glazing a few years ago, mainly because I thought it was a good idea. I had a lot of difficulty dealing with it, just because it's softer, stickier and tough to tool when fresh.I tried a different approach that I've now been using very successfully. What I do is apply a heavy bead of the latex caulk all around the window without worrying about how pretty it looks. I just make sure that it goes right to the edge. I then leave it for about 3 days, to let it set up. The I go back with my sharp Olfa knife and carefully trim it to the angle I want. Leaves a nice, even smooth finish. You probably waste about one-third of the amount you use, but the time saved and nice finished look make up for the small extra cost.I still follow the traditional approach of bedding the glass first in the latex and putting points in to hold the glass (especially on larger panes). Doesn't take that much more time to do this.Thanks for putting up that video. I think it's a pretty decent product!

On most of these windows I squirted all the latex compound onto a board and tinted it with black chalk line chalk. It dries it up a little and makes it easier to tool, with the grey paint, I didn't want to see the white compound from the inside, it worked good. I've also done it with oil based Dap 33, works good there too.

I just reglazed some windows for a friend, and was similarly frustrated when I attempted to tool the glazing after finishing it. I'm doing another old window project soon, and on top of the tips in the video like having water handy and cleaning your knife and all that, your comment is exactly what I was looking for to get a better looking finish without spending all of the extra time applying the oil-based version of the compound and waiting for it to cure. Thank you!

My husband has been glazing windows for over 25 years and he said this involves way too many steps taking much longer. Customer's wouldn't be able to afford us if we did it with that many steps. Just use the caulk gun on the side (instead of the end like you were using) and it fills it in nicely.

Being tired of waiting for the traditional oil-based compound to set up enough to paint and then the added step of an oil primer I am definitely going to give this a try (I have about 40 windows in my new home all needing reglazing/putty, some large, some divided lite and several small square stained glass type). I am kind of concerned that no setting bead or glazing points were used but maybe I'm missing something here. I was planning on setting the glass into a very thin bead of DAP Dynaflex Ultra in clear as some of my sash are painted and some are still natural wood. Thank you for the great video, very informative!!!

Good video. Sure, I typically use push points, but once the glazing sets up, the glass ain't going anywhere. Keep up the good work and thanks for the pointers!

I'll use the things I learned here in the next 15 minutes!

Excellent instruction m8, tx!! Instructions on my latex glazing putty say, "...should be painted after four hours". No idea why it says, 'should'. Putty'sI still soft after four hours and only after two days in the warm was it hard enough to not bruise under a gentle touch of the finger, or paint brush. What's your recommendation here if any?

Great video very helpful Can you report how the dap has held up now these years later ?

Last time I tried to use latex glazing, I hated it. But after watching your vid will give it another shot. For the folks that disagreed with methods, I find that most vids have parts that are helpful and the best research is to cull parts that are helpful from multiple vids. This vid had good tooling advice. Thanks

Excellent video

Great Video. Thanks for the info.

We use this kind of glazing where I work but, in my own experience, I've only used putty. I've had trouble getting used to this material.

Thank you from San Francisco!!!

Very well done!

I've done many windows with both oil and this dapp water based and I prefer the dapp by far because its easier to work with, especially if ur comfortable with a caulking gun, it's doesn't require any kneading making it easier and faster to work with, the only down side is while it does skin over pretty quick,the skin isn't dry enough for well over a week, one thing I found from experience is that when using water, as he did, which I do the same thing amd woukd highly recommend, you have to be careful and wipe up an water drip immediately because ifit runs down the window pane and beads over your freshly coated bottom, it ends up creating an erosion effect and once it fully cures it will eventually crack, by then the skin is cured enough where it isn't mendable forcing you to have to redo it or leave it looking like garbage. The BIGGEST advice that I could give any trying this, regardless of what you use to spread/shape your lines and corners, clean tools and lots of water will make your job not only easier will look much cleaner in the end, that's if you want it to look like it did from the factory

Very Informative. Thanks!

Erik Kol Your welcome, thanks for watching.

Thanks, it is a well done video, and informative. I have always used the Dap 33 in a can which all the pro painters I know swear by, and while it seems difficult at first, does get easier if you stick with it, but not ever easy as this stuff apparently is. I agree that glazing points should be used, even with smaller panes; just use less. Another thing the pros do: smear 1/16 of an inch of putty/caulk on the wood rabbet before setting in the glass, then wiggling the glass into position. That seats it much better and makes it vapor tight from the inside. A lot of vapor can get through to the wood otherwise, during the winter when the air outside is much drier than inside- in places that go below 32 in winter. But a nice video, and a good job!

Thanks for the video! I’ve decided to go with the latex window glazing instead of the dap 33 putty as exterior oil based primer has been sold out for months! Do you have any idea the longevity of this glazing?

Seems as you don't have to be to picky at what caulking you choose as long as its a good silicone/rubber/latex based for exterior uses /bathrooms caulking that can hold the window reasonable well to reinforce the glazing clips.

Is it necessary to put the glazing behind the window as well as well as above it as shown in the video? Also, do you need to use push points? Thank you!

Great video! thanks for the tips! What is that howling sound in the background? Made it really hard to listen all the way through,lol.

Great video bro! I've read the comments in here and all I hear is a bunch of old-schoolers used to doing it the old way and complaining and pointing fingers. The nice part about this new stuff you are using here, is that it is latex.... not oil-based like Dap33 so no need to prime or seal the wood before applying the new glaze. ALSO - if they ever bought this new stuff - they would see that the instructions tell you to remove all points. This is a nu fuss no muss easy solution..... a remedy for window glazing the long and hard way. Kudos to you for this video!

You should still put glazier points in if that stuff starts to dry out there's nothing holding it in the frame anymore...

Nancy Crane I was checking comments right when you posted, sorry to tell you but the oil based can sometimes take quite a while to dry, up to two months. I think it says right on the can not to prime it for 2 weeks. There's pros and cons to both, the latex dries faster, but the oil based is easier to get a better appearance. My tubes had been around for a while and stiffened up, which made it easier, the compound is more like a caulking consistency than in the video, but the technique is pretty much the same, I ended up mixing in some black powder chalk with mine to tint it to the grey of the window sashes, worked good and also stiffened the compound up enough to make it easier to work.Not sure where you located, but the colder weather will extend dry times on anything that has to dry, oil or water based. Good luck with your project.
