Book 3 — To Remove Putty from the Hands
Reading edition
Putty purchased from a dealer is usually in a soft and oily state, and the amateur glazier soon finds his hands, as well as the tools, plentifully smeared after the job is finished. Removing this from the hands with the putty knife or a stick is very tedious, but if a bunch of fine excelsior is used, the putty will be removed quickly and thoroughly.
