Thank You, I feel lucky to have found this working on my Moms 150yo house! : P

How close are your copper pins to the glass? Touching?
Thanks great vid.

[@Earthandflaxstudio]

Yes, the copper pins run perpendicular and against the glass. If you use the glazing hammer, the hammer sits on the glass to hit the pin squarely to ensure it digs in straight. Glad the video was helpful! Let me know what additional questions come up.

About using shellac, didn't know! Nice to know now! :) and just before i started the restauration of windows in my house! :) Thank you!
I'm antique furniture restorer for 17years now.. Windows was a taboo for me.. Just didn't like to get in any kind of deal with them! :D but life... Life is beautiful... Life makes you do things you don't like to, to make you grow more! :)

The shellac is a method a lot of folks have found useful. Otherwise, you can slowly apply coats of Purified Linseed Oil to the dry wood before continuing with the restoration process (backbedding, glazing, painting, etc.) but this can take a lot more time.
Windows can become kind of fun if you get into it, especially if you use the traditional materials as you can avoid solvents and plastics - makes it a little more enjoyable I think. Like all things, it is about the process so try your best to break up the project into manageable parts so it doesn't become an overwhelming task.
Hope this was helpful - good luck with your project.

Can premixed shelac be used in place of shelac flakes?

[@dungeoncartographer1759]

I believe, from other readings, that premixed shellac is just shellac flakes dissolved in alcohol. If one works, the other should as well.

[@Earthandflaxstudio]

I would recommend the dissolved shellac flakes vs. a pre-mixed shellac as it is often way too thin. You would need to apply many, many coats of most pre-mixed shellac primer products for example to get the barrier recommended for this traditional window restoration method. Hope that makes sense and feel free to reach out to [e-mail] with any additional questions.
