Putty (Old), To Remove Easily.
It is quite difficult to remove the old putty from the sash when a glass is broken; but if you apply a hot soldering iron to the putty and pass it slowly over all that you desire to remove it softens it quickly so it can be removed nearly as readily as if just put on. Any iron that is of such shape as to allow its close contact with the putty will do as
well as a regular soldering iron, but one of these would be very convenient in every family—especially in the country—for purposes of soldering tinware, to save taking it to town to get it done, or otherwise stuffing a rag into the hole. Soft soap will do the same, but takes much longer.
