I just did, on aluminum sash that’s about 60+years old and the glaze is about 22 years old. Worked great!! Spoke was so old it practically jumped off when looking at it. There where a few spots it sounded like I was going to break the glass, it’s single pane of course but I made it! 🙌😁 I have a DREMEL version of that oscillating tool. So fun.!!
Great idea. I've never thought to use my multi-tool scraper blade.
It does work great and will not scratch the glass if your careful
Window guy here. We’re the only ones that does putty work in Seattle area. This does not work for steel frames. Glass will break first.
ooof thanks for the tip, im redoing an old steel structure greenhouse and was about to try this. it's veeery old, the putty is a pain to get out, takes forever.
My blade vibrated loose. How are you keeping it tight? I have actually Chicago oscillating with a dremel flexible blade and its not holding. Any suggestions?
you might think about buying a space to help keep it tight. Make sure there is no oil on the screw threads, that will help work it loose
so how do you clean the rebate once the glass is removed?, do you have a demo on that?
I'll make you one tomorrow

Will this remove glaze better than bi metal blade?
yes
You can just as well use a knife and a heat-gun with a flat spout. Steamer and a simple scraper is ideal. If you use too much heat you could crack the glass, so be aware of that. Some paint some linseed oil on and let it sit a while to soften and loosen this.
Thanks for the information, I'll try that on the next job
@@dustyguy No problem. This is a trial and error process as most things. I did not own a steamer but used a damp towel and a clothing iron and that was very effective. Concentrated the heat to this limited section you are working with.
Putty looks fresh still.. try that on a steel sashed window that’s been glazed for a few years,probably not effective
It works on metal , but here is the one I use all the time Thanks for the message and for watching . ruclips.net/video/eyEFL8xQE6k/видео.html
Thanks for this follow up video. I’m going to try both options this weekend on all of these old windows!
@@leahs.6780 your welcome
god damn home depot quit selling the blades. I've been using these for many years but now were fucked. can't buy them anymore. I use them on all the windows I do. they were ESSENTIAL. I refuse to go back to using a damn long blade etc. these oscillating tools made my job so much easier and faster. 20 min to change out an IG. instead of 35 to 40 mins and lots of muscle using a long blade or razor knife. I've never tried it on a putty hack out before.
Works great on putty windows
If you do a lot of windows, one you tuber was using an electric hammer but that was only metal frames. See Jane Drill shows you how to sharpen your scraper. My home depot is still showing dremel flexible blades.
@@Susan70003 it appears that dremel was changing the product to include 2 blades in a single package. Happy to report i was able to buy several packs
“You just have to pay attention to what you’re doing”.
Uh OK.
Sure thing
Do not do this! Your glass will be permanently scratched and after a few minutes the blade gets so hot that it cracks the glass. Use a cheap garment steamer to get the glazing to release or if it wants to stay, let it stay.
Thanks for your input .
I used a Bosch multitool scraper blade on a large 1950's steel casement window with the original Glazing. Very effective and made quick work of it, but I cracked two out of 8 panes and did scratch the glass as well. Just make sure your scraper blade lays perfectly flat against glass, it will reduce the risk of breaking a pane. Maybe taping the glass along the glazing will prevent the scratching? I used a heat gun (low setting) and putty knife on the smaller windows. More labor intensive but less damage to window. Also discovered its best to just remove all of the glazing if its really old. Some of the original glazing was still solid and seemed in good shape, so I patched and skimed over with new glazing (Dap 33). Ended up cracking as well three years later.
you're not trying to save the glass if you're busting out old putty you're replacing a broken window. only sometimes break the glass but that's always a chance when removing it to replace it. so it doesn't even matter. I've been a glazier for 20 years and we never tell a customer that we can reputty the window without a chance of breaking the glass. it doesnt matter how you do it, there's always a chance of breakage or scratching. if it's falling off then you can just pick it off with your fingers or a putty knife. but there is never a reason to just bust off good putty just to redo it.
