This series is absolutely the best window restoration information I have seen in several years that I have been researching how to restore my 100+ year old windows. To give you some idea of what I am facing, I have approximately 26 windows in the sunroom alone - each one is 9 over 9, and the are amazing, but they need a complete restoration. Thank you so, so, so much for this video and for these products. I am so happy to learn how to restore my windows while protecting the environment. Cannot wait to get your products.
What an absolutely amazing two videos. I am going to start with one of my windows and see how it goes. I'm very thankful for your great explanation. Your skills are also very admirable.
Great to hear! Yes, start with a less important sash to get started and practice. Remember, the first window will be the hardest and take the longest. Have patience as you build those skills and then can become more efficient. Good luck! See link below for our updated article on the breakdown of suggested steps for the Swedish Windowcraft methods.

Nice and calm explained. Congratulation!
I love the narrator of the video. She is very clear and effective and so knowledgeable - Not to mention, beautiful!
Absolutely fabulous advice. I have watched several times as I improve my skills. Presently, after investing the required hours of practice, I have acquired the skills!
Great to hear! Window restoration takes time to learn so be kind to yourself as you practice and build that helpful skill set.
Great explanation. Thank you
I've been glazing quite a number of windows, you taught me sometime that frustrated me, how to get a clean paint edge without cutting into the putty, the mud knife for an edging guide is a great idea. Thanks
Thanks for the tips, this video (and the first part also) is the best I've found on the web. I have nearly finished my first sash, the first bit of renovation I've ever attempted, and can safely say it's down to this help that it actually looks half decent.
Thank you for this superb video!
Great to hear!
ahh, true crafter here , sharing wealth in knowledge! My day will be more effective bringing greater value as result
Man you make this look easy
Very informative. Enjoyed the presentation. Lady knows her stuff with windows!
Thank you for such clear, concise instructions. I'm ready - feeling confident - to go restore my window.
Excellent videos! My historic preservation professor had our whole class watch these. My mother has a mid-century modern house with all-wood everything that needs tons of work, I'm hoping to apply this knowledge to it.

Profesionální návod, děkuji!! Pozdravuji z Prahy, z České Republiky.
This and part one are really useful, thank you! I am reforming an old Casa Rural in Northen Spain and need to improve at least 10 windows as they have different sizes and come with internal shutters as well! They were installed in 1934. This video has reduced some of the nerves I have in doing this. I just need to purchase some tools!!!!
Window restoration is time consuming but a lot of folks get really into the process once they get started. Just start with one window to gain experience and confidence. It sounds like a project well worth the time and energy!

Hi Danilo, Yes, finding different types of materials/tools can be a challenge these days. We sell a surprisingly large amount of brushes, tools, etc. on our website www.earthandflax.com for just this reason.
Just for the 5 minutes it was awesome,!!
Thanks for a great video.

Thank you Oscar - more helpful video content to come!
I just bought ca. 1885 fixer-upper that needs a lot of work and has 32 large windows !!....wish me luck :)
Sounds like an awesome project! Good luck and don't hesitate to reach out with questions and/or interest in the Purified Linseed Oil Products for window restoration: info@earthandflax.com
Updates?
You started your project 9 months ago. I would love to know how it went ?
Spettacolo
Best tip for me was using the straight edge to trim the paint straight at the end! ... so simple but never occurred to me! Why the shellac flakes over another choice? I'm guessing prepping that area of the wood with plain linseed oil would make it too moist?
Does the use of linseed oil in the stripping process impede the ability of wood glue to work for repairs? Should repairs be made prior to stripping?
Thank you - I will look for a dealer or have it shipped
I was wondering where I can get wooden window spacers or do I need to make them myself? Also Thank you for such a great instructional videos. I am reglazing my 1950s wooden porch and this very helpful. I can't wait to start restoring the doors etc in my Georgian house now!
It is probably easier to make something than find spacers the right size pre-made. I know someone who uses the ends of wooden match sticks (trims off the top), soaks them in Purified Linseed Oil before install after backbedding/before glazing. He trims them down or cuts in half if needed to make a fit (remember you don't want it too tight!). So many various methods but I think that is a fun, easy trick. Hope it is helpful. Feel free to reach out to info@earthandflax.com with additional questions.
I watched part 2. My mom brought her broken kitchen window when she was cleaning both sides to the window co to replace/repair the glass and glazing compound. She picked it up and brought home. They did not paint the color brown. Was it supposed to match the window? The compound is still wetting.. How long will it dry? I felt that window co was not completed. I did not want them to repair my windows for the glazing compound.
I have a few windows. I would like to replace the window glazing compound since my dad passed away. I wanted to try since all the people can do. Why don't I. I don't know about linseed oil or not. I was told to put a window glazing compound. ?? So I had a hard time removing old tough difficult glazing compounds. How? I did use to putty to remove.. Mostly solid. I felt like it was like superglue there and wouldn't come off. Any suggestion? It is still in the basement. I need to put it back to the widows. Last week was cold.. We put heat on.. jeez.
Another window wood paint really fainted. It is too late to smooth out, paint. Maybe next early Fall.
Thanks for this excellent video. Where can I purchase Allback products in the U.S?
Question: I thought it was good practice to put one coat of raw linseed oil or hot blo prior to paint the frame? Finally, do we have to wait for the first coat of paint to be totally dried?
Where can you buy the framing points. I don’t see the same type you’re using online. Is there a specific name for them?
What name is that liquid you apply using the brush? Do we apply paint before the putty dries up??
Please guys, can we get to know the ingredients of the dough
Any tip on where to find the mullion strips? I have an old barn window with missing wood dividing strips. Thank you
Your local hardware store may carry some options but if it has certain profile, a local carpenter/wood shop may be able to make up something that matches or is a close match. Ask around in your area as you may have a local resource you aren't even aware of yet. Good luck!
I can not even imagine the hell that would break loose if a man were to use their wife's mixer to mix up linseed oil.
Yep, you better get your own stick mixer!
@@Earthandflaxstudio I had to fix my daughters window once and she lives out of state. I was using her hair dryer to soften the glazing to remove it and the first words out of her mouth were "is that my hairdryer" strong emphasis on the word my. We went to HomeDepot to get a heat gun.
Very nice video, but why using shellac? if the wood need the oil would it not be a idea to feed it up (with oil) before putting window back in?
Great question! The shellac is a barrier only on the glazing grooves to prevent the oil in the Linseed Oil Putty to disappear into the wood over time. You want the oil to remain in the putty so it doesn't dry out and fail. Certainly load up the wood with Purified Linseed Oil before painting and that window will last you a very long time.
Thanks for the super instructive video! How long do you think it would take to restore a double sash window if this is the first time doing it? Do you have any tips and hints on sills? Thanks!
I've just nearly finished my first sash (lower one). It's taken me a while. But, I had really tough putty to remove which I had to experiment with to limit damage to the sash. I also had to repair some rotten wood. As I was doing all of these for the first time I spent weeks doing it in my limited spare time. Not sure if that helps but I think it will depend more on your skills and the current state of the window.
I’m a pro and a full restore can take anything from 12 hours to a week.
Let's assume its a 6 over 6 pane assembly.... times will vary depending on how many panes. I began restoring sets of circa 1820 windows recently and the time for each set improves with experience. I would agree that 10-12 hours would cover all steps from wood restoration through final painting.
Is it this specific combination of products that allows you to paint the glazing immediately? I use Sarco brand glazing putty (linseed & soybean oil based) with Zinsser primer and Sherwin Williams topcoat (both oil based) and was always told to wait until a skin had formed on the putty. This can be time consuming and would love to find a quicker approach
Also understand that when the paint store say they have oil paint they mean Petrochemical oil paint!. Linseed oil paint is something completely different: Natural, breathable and free of Micro-plastic.
Yes, the combination of the Linseed Oil Paint and the Linseed Oil Putty (both a natural, oil-based formulation vs. petrochemical-based oil) allows you to paint immediately after glazing. Linseed Oil Paint has a longer dry time (48 hrs or so between coats in ideal conditions) in comparison to most modern coating but the ability to paint right away after glazing is a enormous time saver. Also, no specific "primer" product required. Just glaze and then paint is possible. There are some other technique choices to be made in terms of the steps you do as a craftsperson but it can be that straightforward if needed. We have a newer video on window restoration as well if you haven't seen and hope to make more window restoration content in 2024 too with different methods/techniques. This material combination and method we call Scandinavian Windowcraft.
This is the only time I’ve ever heard to paint the glazing immediately. Is that only when using linseed oil paint?
Yes, this is only true when working with Linseed Oil Putty and Linseed Oil Paint together. Paint putty immediately so they dry at the same rate - great way to save time on that step as Linseed Oil Paint has a longer dry time than modern, petrochemical coatings. Great trade-off if that makes sense!
@@Earthandflaxstudio yeah that is interesting! Does the rest of the paint dry faster than the paint on the putty? How long after painting are you able to install with that type of paint?
@@cdm9011 Linseed oil paint must dry in concert with the linseed oil putty to adhere well. Paint right away. It will dry about the same. Drying time depends on the temp ( 70 degree is best) and access to oxygen. In room temp, it should dry for a week normally. Also depends on the thickness of the glazing putty as well. Paint onto the glass about 1/8" as well as it will prevent water from going between the putty and the glass. Linseed oil paint adhere very well to clean glass. Linseed oil putty can be maintained with the purified raw linseed oil over time. Should last for 50 years with some maintenance and a coat of linseed oil paint every 10 years.
What kind of paint do you recommend for the window tracks? It seems like if you use the same paint as the window, the window will not slide well.
Great question - there are a few different opinions on this as some folks like to leave those surfaces unpainted but I recommended wiping on a thin coat of Linseed Oil Paint onto all surfaces where wood meets wood. Yes, if you paint and apply all the recommended coats of paint to all sides of the sash, as well as the tracks, you can expect significant sticking but if you wipe on a thin, even coat on the sides of the sash, as well as the tracks and let it dry fully before install you should not impact the operation of the window. A little Linseed Oil Paint goes a long way so I recommend wiping on the paint with a clean cloth vs. brushing to have more control over how much you apply for this application.
Hope this is helpful. Feel free to reach out to info@earthandflax.com with additional questions.
On our historic houses, we try to leave these surfaces unpainted and we apply a bit of beeswax to the edge of the window as well as the track.....
Hey nice video. I'm from Western Australia. The linseed window putty for sale here has instructions saying not to paint the putty until at least 2 weeks after applying. I asked at a window repair shop and they said the same thing. It would be easier if I could paint it immediately like you do in this video. Is it because the putty is different? Why am I supposed to wait 2 weeks?
I'd think that was to do with using modern conventional exterior paints (water based/hybrid/solvent based) - the recommendation is then to only paint when a skin has developed on the putty. In this case you're using a linseed based paint, so no need to wait for a skin to form. Apologies to E+F Studio for butting in, but I'm pretty sure this is correct.
Apologies for the delay in a response - somehow missed your comment! Linseed Oil Putty can be painted on immediately with Linseed Oil Paint. If you use a conventional, modern coating like an acrylic, latex, or petrochemical oil paint on the Linseed Oil Putty, you will need to wait 2+ weeks for the putty to cure before painting.
The time saving aspect is only when using both the traditional putty and paint together, otherwise you will have issues with the putty/paint wrinkling as the putty/paint dry at different rates so you must wait as your window repair shop indicated. Hope this answers your question and reach out anytime to info@earthandflax.com.
@@okafka5446 Well said! Yes, the issue would be the rate in which these different materials would dry. Only Linseed Oil Putty with Linseed Oil Paint can skip the cure time usually required for putty when using modern materials. A good time saver since the Linseed Oil Paint needs a little more time to dry based on no solvents/chemical driers in the formulation.
@@Earthandflaxstudio haha thanks for the reply! Albeit a bit too late :P Already finished painting my windows a few months ago, but interesting nevertheless. Waited the 2-4 weeks and used an acrylic paint
@@Jiffy_Park Congrats on getting your project done! I'm sure there will be other chances for you to work with the traditional linseed oil-based materials. Reach out anytime! info@earthandflax.com
Are your products available in the U.K.? I restore windows in the exact same manner as this and am mid way through a set of 5 and will need to paint them.
Hello Adam, Most of the products I work with are from Sweden and may have UK distributors. Start with Allback for all your purified linseed oil window restoration needs: info@allbackpaint.com. They will most likely be able to give you the best information. Thank you for your interest and keep up the good work!
Earth+Flax Studio I’ve found a supplier for some of the Allback products so that is a great start.
Thank you very very very much for sharing your skills! ;-)
Any idea to make a "homemade" window putty ? I mean exact proportion and quality of chalk and lin oil ?
