lead coming off windows
« on: April 21, 2010, 06:46:02 pm »
One of my customers has mentioned that the lead has started to peel off her windows but not blaming me for it (im wfp)

I told her I would ask you guys what product is best for sticking it back down. Any ideas?

this used to happen to me when i was trad, the only way i found was to reapply a strip of new lead, tried sticking it back down , but always peeled of,
clean window where you need to apply new lead well, i used a solvent cleaner

cheers mate

I just took over from a trad window cleaner so wondering if it was down to him being a bit heavy handed with the squeegee!
Of course it might be me scrubbing too hard. Will never know! its 'curly' decorative leading so not as straight forward as 'diamond' leading. Was just wondering if there was a suitable glue.

as long as you dry glass before using it.... a dab of araldite works fine.

Oh yes and I'm wfp and have pulled quite a bit off over the years :o
