The product, in perspective.
Crown Okay Metal Putty is a bedding and glazing putty for single-glazed window frames. Include whether the frame is wood or metal and the glazing task when requesting a quotation.
A glazing putty for the specified wood or metal window-frame application. Glazing putty has a specific role in a window assembly. It is not a general wall filler or a substitute for another joint sealant.
Where it works.
The documented surface or use for Ok Putty is wood and metal window frames. Identify the actual material and its condition before selecting the preparation and finishing system. An existing coating, a newly prepared base and a repaired area can need different treatment.
- A glazing putty for the specified wood or metal window-frame application.
- Available quotation packs and component requirements are checked for your selected product, rather than inferred from another grade.
Before you start.
The frame must be sound, clean, dry and cohesive. Check and repair the timber’s primer or sealer around rebates and glazing faces before setting the glass.
For a useful specification check, share whether the surface is bare or previously treated, the name of the existing coating if known, and any visible damage or moisture exposure. Preparation products should be selected for that condition before the finishing material is applied.
Companion products to specify
The technical sheet references these materials for its preparation, thinning or coating scenarios. Confirm the scenario for your substrate.
Application and project planning.
Use the backing, bedding and fillet arrangement described in the glazing instructions, then paint when the surface has developed the required firm skin.

Measure the area to be treated and allow for the number of coats required by the coating system. Surface texture, absorption, application method and material losses can change the amount needed. Tell us the area and proposed system when requesting packs; the published coverage is a planning reference, not a guarantee of your project’s consumption.

Good questions, useful answers.
Is this a filler for plaster walls?
No. The documented application is glazing in wood or metal window frames. Use a wall repair material specified for a plaster defect.
What should I include in my quotation?
Give the exact product name, requested pack size, quantity and relevant colour reference. Add the surface, application and destination so the product and delivery requirements can be checked together.
How do I choose the right pack and quantity?
Use the available pack choices and the quantity required by your coating or installation plan. Tell us the area, number of coats or relevant joint dimensions if you need help assembling a material list.
Can I confirm a colour from the product picture?
The image represents product packaging, not an exact shade match. Use a manufacturer colour reference for a coloured product, or specify that colour is not applicable for the material you need.
Keep the specification close.
Use the full manufacturer technical information when planning preparation and application. Include the exact product and system details when contacting KariVex about a quotation.
