The fun stuff over now for the grunt work. First puttying. Puttying is a pain. You have to use your thumb to push the putty in the gap between the lead and the glass, both sides. Putty is good. Once the putty hardens it adds a great deal of strength to the panel.
After making a big smear, gotta clean it up. I use saw dust to scrub the panel clean, both sides.
Finally, I add brass bars on the backside of the panel to add strength. These bars are bent to fit the contours of the lead lines and are 'invisible' from the front.
