No, for 2 reasons, in places the paint is fragile, no idea why as the correct primer adhered well and I used the correct dulux thinner, some days were hot some cooler which may have something to do with it.
So bit fucked off after all the effort it took to strip/prime/paint.
So masking tape will look shit and likely pull paint off in places
So I want to make a silicone bead to stop most of the draft enough to stop the secondary glazing bowing when we get gales, the wind even lifted a 1.25x1.8m panel out of its track one stormy night and I nearly shat my pants.

unfortunately no the frames are rough in places despite being stripped, plan is to paint the release agent on the frame and try and gauge the correct amount of silicone for the gap and then close the window wiping off any silicone that spills over the lip of the frame with a tool or wet finger.
bit difficult to explain without seeing the frames, they centre tilt so the gaps get bigger the further away from the hinge.looked into getting the frames straightened but that involves their removal, fitting ply in their place, then back at the factory having glass removed and through heat/percussive persuasion straightening them but without having the outer frames to check they fit. then glass refitted.
the cost was nuts as was the experts doing what i’m about to do! -

I need a release agent for silicone that i can accurately brush onto painted metal windows.
Am thinking vaseline but need to thin it slightly but not with a solvent that will attack the metal paint (dulux metalshield)
Will be using colour matched silicone to fill the gaps on large crittall opening frames that are distorted so the gaps can be 5mm tapering down to .5mm so not something I can do with conventional rubber strips.Did wonder if silicone spray stops silicone adhesion? you can use cling film but its a faff and wrinkles making a poor seal.

Didn’t know it could get even shitter but it has, just use it as a news/opinion source and often switch to ‘for you’ to get the same topics but different sources of decent content/opinions but now it’s just a stream of ‘this is amazing’ ‘watch to the end not what you expect’ ‘lads being lads’ ‘amazing story!’ ‘Weird and wonderful’ etc, etc.
What a pile of crap, feels more and more like
The daily mail website right hand column of shame every day, it did have a Katy Price ‘shocking turd’ suggested the other day which was not what I wanted to see.I hope Musk loses shitloads over its demise.

I wear trickers brogues,shoes and boots(commando sole) or redwing Beckman and with mine as they are the right amount of formal but not trainer but also wear plain trainers (some flyknit Nike tennis things that are dark navy with no tick and white sole.
Tend not to wear smart shoes with them as the suits have no structure and are more workwear than suiting. -

They look better than plastic jogging pumps that people try to buy for 10x the actual manufactures cost when they ‘drop’
