When Thomson Glazing was chosen to restore and replace 160 sash windows that had been damaged in the 2018 fire that had devastated the iconic Art Nouveau Glasgow School of Art building designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the company chose Multi-Purpose Putty from Hodgson Sealants.
Hodgson’s Multi-Purpose Putty is a hand-applied glazing compound designed for a range of applications and said to be particularly suited for bedding and external fronting of single glass into primed softwood, hardwood, and steel frames that will later be painted. It can be used on sealed hardwood and concrete surfaces that are also intended for painting.
Michael Thomson of Thomson Glazing said: “Its workability is unparalleled, making it incredibly versatile during the application process. The shelf life of this product means less waste and more cost-effective solutions for our clients. What truly sets it apart is its multi-purpose utility—this putty works exceptionally well on both steel and timber, which is essential in a project of this calibre.”
