Post by: Toff on June 05, 2006, 08:41:57 pm

Iam about to change over to wfp, because i work on my own and wondered can you clean top leaded windows with  it? and will customers notice if you clean the tops wfp and bottoms trad?

Hi Toff. WFP is great on leads, you wont be doing bottoms trad. If there traditional leaded lights just keep an eye out for leaks were the cement between glass & lead has dryed out, if its stick on lead, no prob, you will love em.  ;D ;D ;D

If it's stick on then be careful.

I did one last week where the lead wasn't stuck properly and started to pull it off.

Thankfully the customers weren't the moody type.

It was a 1st clean aswell :-\

WFP is tops for leaded, if your brush drags the lead strips off, you can be sure your scrim will do so also :'(
And there is no way once you start that you'll be doing tops WFP and bottoms trad, its 4 or 5 times faster to do them WFP.

Ian is right it,s almost as wfp was made for leaded windows, never had a problem with leaded and wfp.

Cheers Jeff

have been a wfp user now for 2months, very pleased with the outcome, the leaded windows are coming out very good, better than trad,(and can still do them in this heat)....
