    Glaziers Points Sizes

    Thread Starter: Carroll Courtney

    I’m new to glazing putty, glazers points and new to installing small glass panes like 9”x14” I can’t find any small glazers points other than #7 which looks to be to big for size of mutton.

    If you want to publish an article, you can join our authors group, which gives you access to a forum which is open only to would-be authors at SawmillCreek. This is a staging area for new articles, where you can post a new article, and we'll review for publication. Once you're ready to publish it, we'll promote it on the front page of SawmillCreek!

    Try posting pictures inline for visual interest.

    Choose a catchy, yet descriptive title!
