Thought I'd try to document the steps and time for each individual step of restoring windows. 10 days until baby's due date, zero chance I'll meet that deadline.
Removing putty - key is letting the windows steam for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Old putty should just slide out right out once its nice and soft, out back in if it's chalky.
If your putting in a lot of elbow grease your liable to scratch the glass too.
Total time = 1 hour of work time
Steam really lifts the paint, I prefer to not scrape it since the steam makes the wood susceptible to tearing
