I'm just redecorating a room in my flat and have had to unscrew a window from its frame to do some external repairs and replace a broken pane since the window is not very accessible from outside.
I used putty, didn't realise how long it takes to set.
I obviously want to paint the putty to waterproof it when it has set. However, I can't do that with the window in place (hence why I took it out in the first place).
Is there any way I can speed the putty drying process - (say with a hairdrier perhaps) - so I can get the window back in place sooner?
Or alternatively, is it ok to paint the putty before it has completely set.
Thanks
