Windows are finally stripped, I could get about 2 done in a day. Will hopefully start putting the glass back in on the weekend.
Wound up flaming them with a propane torch and scraping with a uni pro scraper. This was the quickest method I could come up with and left a very smooth finish. Paint stripper was a waste of time, I also found it softened the timber which when scraped would leave a furry surface, not very good for the mouldings on the glazing bars ect.
Also need to give the hinges some attention, most are in pretty good condition but some have a little surface rust or house paint on them. Will try soaking in vinegar and see if that removes the rust/paint.

Started putting the glass back in. Used Selleys special putty, seemed to work pretty well.
Have also made a start on the hinges. Soaking in vinegar works really well. A few days all the old paint and surface rust came off then just a quick wash and wipe with acetone followed a coat of epoxy etch primer and silver gal.

I bought a box 20 sets of the 250 25 years ago, never did use them and threw them out 2 weeks ago.

Oh no Tonto! I would have bought the lot off you as they are the same on the house.

Jonesy's Shed Build
Having to repair some corners on the windows that have been cut out as they fouled on the hinges. my guess is incorrect placement of the hinges in their original installation.
For the repair I’m using an epoxy called Techniglue, which is a 2 part epoxy paste. This tin is around 5 years old and still works fine.
Area is sanded then cleaned with acetone then epoxy applied. You could also apply an epoxy wood preserver (very thin epoxy which soaks in to stabilise the wood) but as the wood is in good condition and for the sake of time I’m skipping it this time round.
The epoxy is a paste but will sag so some form work is required.
Once hardened it can sanded, planed ect. Sands like soft wood timber so little effort required to blend in.

Thanks Tonto. It would have been nice to have them hot dipped but it is impractical as you would have to disassemble them which is easy enough but I couldn’t find a way to replace the brass rivets. Hopefully these last a long time before any rust appears.

Home Zinc plating is relatively easy but does require some investment in chemicals (especially if a bright finish is desired straight out of they plating bath) and Zn rod.
I did a bunch of tests last year and as usual the time is in the surface prep but depending on thickness required the rating itself is very quick.
Here is an example - the one on the left has also been lightly polished on a Scotchbrite wheel after plating.
