I have not had that problem.
But they do not work on aluminum frame windows.
Check with your glass supplier. They sell double back tape for use in replacing windows.

Dan... The poster asked about re-working wooden windows, and asked about substitutes for glazing putty.
Not aluminum. Not PVC. Not even carved from Elk horn. Wood.

You can rip a thin strip of wood, glue it to the aluminum frame, and use th= e points. It sounds like too much work, BUT the wood supports heavy (double-pane sand= wich) glass better than securing it with tape, and covers any and all blemishes/s= eams in the aluminum joints. Especially for my tilt-out windows, with metal s= crews that could contact the glass, that wood spacing is key. I bore holes in th= e wood where the screws penetrate, of course.
You are right. I was thinking of some thermopane windows I replaced.

Why not talk to 3M's tech people. They probably made it. Karl
