Yip has happened to me a couple of times

I the first case i got some glue and stuck it back on, the second time it happened (different job) the householder contacted the glaziers to come out and fix it as it is really their responsibility.

These lead strips can be a nuisance.

brush soft from now on

One of my custies got some DIY stuff from B&Q and put it on a couple of windows,.. what a disaster! Some of it peeled off on its own about 2 months after she put it on!

We just give it a very light brush,.. still comes up ok tho.

Done the same, trouble is the ones I've pulled off seem to stretch the lead strip and smoothing it down always causes a few ripples. I just glue the down coz I just pull them off again next time (amnesia)  ;D
