Sealing around shed glass pains.

[Deleted User]

Hello.
What recommendations can l use to seal/fix some loose glass pains in my shed.  The wood beading holding the glass is rotting but the nails holding it are very near the glass so would prefer to apply  somthing to the edge to secure  the glass.
I'm not to fussed about how it would look because the shed is tucked away out of main garden.

what is wrong with "old fashioned" putty
It has been used for hundreds of years to seal window glass into wood window frames !
Putty even comes in coloured varieties these days 

Alternatively, if you prefer "modern", then squirt a silicone frame sealant around it. Colour of your choice.

Window putty or external mastic.

You can get replacement beading from the likes of B&Q or Homebase.  Then apply silicone sealant or mastic to seal around the panes.  I wouldn't use putty simply because it's so messy to use by comparison.  At least I always used to make a hell of a mess with the stuff.

When you open up the tub you need to take the lot out to work it. This works the oil evenly through. If you just take it from the top it will probably have too much oil in it, and be really sticky to work with.

Was thinking putty myself.
Thank you

Thanks for tip.
