Hi all,

I have spent the last few days stripping back some window frames in need of repair. Unfortunately much of the old putty between the window glass and the wooden sill on the outside has come away and I need to reseal this area (see photos). I have scraped as much of the old putty away as possible and was wondering what to replace it with. If I use putty again, can I paint before applying the putty as I understand you can't paint the putty until it has cured which might be weeks. If another sealant is recommended, what type should I use?

I've attached a couple of photos and am looking forward to some answers.
