Where were you a month ago when I was stripping a dozen of these things?!
But seriously, I’m glad someone likes the job. The glazing is fun for me. Scraping a hundred years of paint off of molding with every possible radius… not so much.
Honestly it’s worth the money to take them to a dip and strip shop. They’ll get them back to you pristine and ready for repairs/sanding. The downside is it’s not cheap. I pay around $60 per typical home sized sash. Saves me hours though.
Also if the old window has lead paint layers, I don’t like to scrape on my property.
