The ca. 1935 additions to my house had black-painted sash. The windows had
been maintained once, and only once, in the intervening period between then
and when I bought it in 1993. Where putty had failed, they used black
glazing compound to patch in, I estimate sometime in the 60s. I hadn't seen
that before, and I'm not aware that colored glazing compounds are generally
available now. Jim Hicks, are they?
