If you use a putty knife and do a few windows you will find in short order its 10 times faster and better. Sorry to break that to you. Also to remove old putty use a hot air gun because it will soften even the oldest putty because linseed oil reacts to heat by melting.
Hello if you're still out there in the netiverse - videos I've watched say to use boiled linseed oil on the timber lip first, after you've thoroughly cleaned the crap out. Does that and or the putty choice (if there is one) require an oil paint on the window / putty afterwards, or is waterbased ok? If you know that is. Thanks.
My unforeseen issue after I'd finished the first door was that rats / mice /possums came overnight to eat the putty. For the next windows I had to cover the putty with cardboard using masking tape. A real pain. Let's hope most people don't have roaming rodents to contend with!
