I am new to stained glass and even newer to this forum. I have learned a great deal already, thank you everyone.
I have many questions,....but will start with one. Ha.
Can someone please tell me what is "whiting"? Just what is it made of?
Thank you, peggyk

peggyk:
If you wish to make your own putty/cement, you'll want to look around for a very fine, less-gritty whiting.
If you want to use it for cleaning (lead or foil), the product sold in hardware & gardening shops (field lime) will work fine and is mighty cheap.
Folks here may be able to be more specific about the type of whiting which is best for cement. - Tod

We get our whiting for making putty/cement at a paint store. 50# bag of "Drikalite" by Imerys = 15$
