DAP 33 or Acrylic glazing compound?

------------------------ Does DAP have a tech service group with an 800 #?

DAP has a product technical bulletin at

There's a description of Ace 35-year siliconized acrylic caulk at

Post over at alt.home.repair, too, for a possibly greater diversity of opinions. For what it's worth, *my* opinion is that *any* brand of window glazing compound is better than DAP. The best I've ever used is S&T (carried only at *some* Tru-Value Hardware stores, AFAIK), but Ace is pretty good too. Either one is way ahead of DAP.

The original compound for setting windows was putty. DAP 33 is a BIG improvement on putty, both in working properties and in shelf life, and I've always liked working with it. It's a good substitute for traditional putty in addition to holding glass well.

I thought the tube-type glazing compounds were not used in the same way as putty, though; do you actually work them into a bevel in contact with the came?

Don't know, never used the stuff in a tube. I always used the stuff that comes in a pint plastic tub (not tube). Ace or S&T, but not DAP. Used that DAP CRAP on one pane -- never again.

Last time I looked (admittedly some few years ago) the Ace-branded was packaged for them by...you guessed it--DAP
