On wood windows you can use either, on metal you use Dual.

Why?

I just put about 3 lb of type M on my metal windows. Do I have reason to be concerned?

I do not know why Type M is not listed as suitable for metal. Try reaching out to Sarco directly perhaps? https://www.sarcoputty.com/contact

I have not used this product but Allback makes a linseed oil putty that you can get in Canada. Linseed oil putty is what I always used in the UK. It's bond to be different to Sarco, but I would bet it works better than DAP. You need to mix it well before use, and sometimes with linseed you need to m...

JJet, unfortunately I have not found any thing but DAP so that is what I use, I think your only option is to get the good stuff online from the States.

yep, get the big Jiffy steamer - you will find all sorts of uses for it afterwards - stripping paint, bending wood, or even steaming fabrics and shaping hats

I think the smaller ones can be used but dont produce as much steam / need refilling more often

I'm pretty sure those windows are fairly easily saveable. It would certainly be cheaper to restore them fully than to replace them - even if you got a skilled tradesperson to do them for you

Take a look at my review of one inner storm manufacturer here - I love em, they work amazingly well, are inexpensive, and I tell everybody who will listen to get them viewtopic.php?f=13&t=22
