How to Prepare an Old HINGE Window For Vinyl Lettering

Get your old hinge window ready to apply my vinyl decals on. Take your window like this one. Gather your all purpose cleaner, your glass cleaner, caulk, and your putty knife. If you have a different kind of window or if your window isn't in this kind of condition and needs to be repainted or needs glass replaced please check back soon for a tutorial. I have several windows I will be preparing for vinyl lettering.

Grab your putty knife and watch this video to learn how to get rid of the loose window putty.

Here are a couple pictures of a window that has the loose putty all taken off.

Remember you are just removing the loose putty on the back of the window. There will not be any on the front side of the window, leave it as is. Now take care of those hinges by watching this video.

Then clean the window and glass like in this video.

And then grab your caulk and refill in the back so the glass panels do not fall out. Learn how in these video's.

Here is the back of the window with the new caulk on it.

And here is a close up. Just remember it doesn't matter what it looks like because it's the back.
