Hi
I have had a leaded window repaired and now need to refit it into the door frame. The leaded panel was originally retained by small round headed pins driven through the lead and then the gap between the panel and the door frame filled and painted.
I am proposing to use a mastic (silicone?) on the face where it meets the rebate in the door and then to use a paintable mastic or putty to seal the edge to the frame on the exterior.
I was advised by the repairer to rebate the panel into the frame a bit more as it was originally flush with the surface.
Any comments gratefully received.
NB - Whilst the door is an external one it is well recessed within a Victorian porch so will not get wet.
If this is on the wrong place could a Mod please move it - thanks.
