Some years ago I took four sash to a local glass shop to be reglazed. I had removed the glass ,scraped all old putty on glass and wood and primed the sash. Told the counter guy I wanted them bedded and glazed. He wrote that on ticket. When I picked them up I tapped on a pane and it rattled! What a pane pain! When I asked him why they were not bedded he said "guy in the back said it wasn't neccessary and we don't do it". I complained bitterly and irately and demanded big discount. Sorry to hear you ran into the same incompetant. Dap 33 is a low grade non lasting product. I'm told it used to be good. Sorry I can't remember name of one of the good ones, please google it .
