Well, I'm in the middle of restoring all the second story leaded glass windows for a client in town here. Pretty basic windows. Re-soldering all the broken metal joints, scraping out all the old putty, and reglazing the entire thing. You scrub the putty in with a scrub brush and the putty is a mixture of the regular window glazing putty, turpentine, and a colorant. It's the consistency of thick peanut butter. Needless to say, you get pretty sore from doing this for several hours! Sometimes it is pointless to try and do this with old windows, but these guys are in the perfect condition for it to be worthwhile.
