Window Restoration (Part #2)

The exterior side of the windows...

I let the putty (glaze) dry for a solid two weeks. Priming/Painting the exterior is a much slower process and requires more patience. I typically use Benjamin Moore Penetrating Primer Alkyd, but this can cause the putty to wrinkle. Instead, for the glaze, I opted to use Benjamin Moore Fast Dry Alkyd with no Penetrol, and didn't experience any sort of wrinkling or warping of the putty. I used the penetrating primer with Penetrol for all other wood surfaces. Once this is dry, I'll apply two top coats of BM Atrium White.
