Only just on topic I know, but does anyone have knowledge of the best
type of putty to use on wooden windows which get hot and wet? its the
bead outside that seems to crack and drop out in sections, makes
painting a right pain.

I tend to use silicon when glazing new sections of new wood and new
glass. but repairing older parts I have in the past used linseed oil
putties but that only seems to last a short while, is there something
better like the putty for metal frame windows perhaps? or some other
filler type, preferably one I don't need to constantly have to paint!



I use acrylic putty. Easier to work with and stays flexible enough not
to crack

Wickes do their own (white!) I think.
