We're refinishing, reglazing and restoring all our old Marvin windows in a 1970's Wausau house - can you help?
Hello, we are refinishing and reglazing all of the old windows in our 1970's era home. There are five different sizes of windows had a finished wood look on the inside, and some had a very weathered coat of primer on the outside. I have no idea if this is how they originally came, but it does seem that they had never been refinished. We are having trouble locating a replacement for the weatherstripping. A few pieces were salvageable, but much of it was missing or severely cracked. Thanks for any help you can give!
#1 JUST REMEMBER .. if your weather strip is that bad in "places" .. it should all be replaced ..
#2 Do all your repainting or staining first .. and be "careful" about getting paint or stain into the "kerf tracks" .. the narrow cuts into which a weather strip sets.
#3 Then install weather strip - cut at corners "as closely as possible to fit at joints without any "overlapping"
