Description

A doughy material used to secure a window pane to the frame while forming an air and water tight seal. The glazing compound may be a specially formulated Putty or caulk that is weather-resistant and does not harden or crack. Some currently marketed glazing compounds are based on polysulfide rubbers which may introduce sulfur to interior environments. Early glazing mixtures, called window putty, were a thick paste composed of powdered calcium carbonate mixed with linseed oil.
