Just a quick update to keep the bump somewhat useful.
As I am caulking the deck, I used the opportunity to shift packing under the round skylights that were leaking. The old packing used was some black silicone and rubber ring. We are slowly getting rid of that as it is not historically correct. I used linseed oil putty instead. While the rubber might actually last longer, it is a bitch to remove and it took me 3 hours to carefully remove the glass that was still glued there with the silicone (which was leaking anyways...) The putty will in the future be much easier to replace. And I polished the brass ring a bit while at it, because it doesnt need to look like shit..
Later this year I want to try to polish the glass itself, but the damage is extensive and I might not have time or that.
