You can purchase one of the simplest putties available for both residential and commercial window use at most hardware and home improvement stores, or you can make your own glass putty.
Things You Will Need
-
Put on rubber gloves and combine 1/2 cup raw linseed oil with 1/2 cup boiled linseed oil in an empty paint can or bucket.
-
Stir the combination of raw and boiled linseed oil thoroughly until well mixed. Add calcium carbonate powder to the mixture in 1-cup increments to make the putty light beige in color. Add more cups of calcium carbonate powder to the mixture to make it lighter.
-
Test for the right consistency by pulling the stirrer out of the can or bucket. If the putty is pancake batter–like, it is the right consistency.
-
Apply the putty to the window with a putty knife before it dries to strengthen or seal your window.
