I'm tackling my first window glazing project and I'm running into some trouble. After removing the old glazing and cleaning the area thoroughly, I noticed that the new putty isn't sticking well. Should I be using a primer on the window before applying the glazing? Any tips would be appreciated!

What kind of glazing are you using? It's good to know the brand and how old it is. Also, is the wood surface painted, primed, or unfinished? What method did you use to prepare the wood—like scraping or using a chemical stripper? That can make a big difference! Also, a photo could help diagnose the issue better. Don't stress, we can figure this out together!
Honestly, it just takes a bit of practice. Applying the right pressure and using lateral movements can really help with the application. If you're using an oil-based glaze, try wetting your knife a bit before applying the putty. It might help it stick better!
