New Windscreen Glazing

Today's before-and-after-dinner project was to get the new glazing in. The 'Dumdum' putty from the UK was very easy to work with, and coupled with the putty glazing strips from Land Rover, it all went well. Nice not to see cracked panes anymore. In case you're wondering why I would order putty all the way from the UK, there simply wasn't any available here in town - and anyway, helps keeps things as British as possible. : )

The windscreen is presently propped back up on the bulkhead while the putty cures, and then there will be a thorough cleaning following which the assembly will be put away until needed. Incidentally, the bent tube reflected in the glass is a stove pipe in one corner of the garage.
