Wiping the wood with linseed oil was the mistake. Try this: clean it all out.
Prime the wood with a really good primer like Zinsser 123
http://www.zinsser.com/. Glaze (I always used the canned variety). Let it dry.
Prime the top of the glazing, then paint two coats. However neat you are with
the painting, don't scrape the excess off the glass. The paint film forms a
seal at its edge on the glass that is destroyed with scraping.

about a year ago I reglazed the windows in my show.. my first attempt..
I cleaned out the old glazing completely... wiped down the wood with
linseed oil then reglazed
smoothing the new glaze with a putty knife dipped in linseed oil...
my problem now is the glazing is coming out again...in strips... what did
I do wrong..
any suggestions on a quick repair... is the glazing in a squeeze tube
better or easier than the canned variety ??
come on glass glazing experts out of the closet !!!
thanks
