Product Information

Full details

Bartoline Multi-Purpose Linseed Oil Putty is an essential solution for professionals and DIY enthusiasts tasked with glazing wood and steel frames or repairing wood surfaces. It provides a reliable seal for bedding and fronting single glass, ensuring a weather-tight finish. While highly versatile for traditional glazing, users should note that it is not suitable for modern laminated glass or insulated glass units and requires painting within a specific 7-to-28-day window to maintain long-term performance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on insulated glass units?

No, this product is specifically formulated for single glass glazing and should not be used on insulated glass units.

Is this suitable for laminated glass?

No, you should avoid using this putty against laminated glass as it is not compatible.

When should I paint the putty?

You should paint the putty after a skin has formed, ideally between 7 and 28 days after initial application.

Can this be used as a wood filler?

Yes, it is equally useful as a general-purpose wood filler for minor repairs on wood surfaces.

Do I need to prime the frame before using?

Yes, all wood and metal frames must be properly primed before you apply the putty to ensure a secure bond.

How deep should the putty be finished?

The putty should be tooled at an angle and finished approximately 2mm below the sightline.

Troubleshooting

Putty is difficult to smooth during application

Ensure the blade of your glazing knife is clean and slightly oiled or kept damp with a minimal amount of white spirit to prevent sticking.

Putty is not adhering to the frame

Check that the frame surface is properly primed and completely free of oil, grease, or dust before re-applying.

Surface cracking before painting

Ensure the putty was not exposed to extreme temperatures during the skinning process and check that the correct thickness was applied.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion to various primed substrates
  • Dual-purpose functionality as putty and wood filler
  • Ideal for restoration of traditional window frames
  • Easy to tool and finish to a clean sightline

Cons

  • Not compatible with laminated glass or insulated units
  • Requires specific painting window between 7 and 28 days
  • Requires professional preparation of surfaces (clean, dry, and grease-free)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Success with this putty begins with surface preparation. Before application, ensure all frames are primed, clean, and completely free of dust or grease. Do not use this product on laminated glass or within bead glazing systems, as the chemical properties may negatively interact with these materials. After application, the putty will form a protective skin; you must apply your chosen paint finish within 7 to 28 days of this skin formation. If left unpainted for too long or painted too early, the integrity of the seal may be compromised.
