Ok. I tried to get away with the 'short answer' but in real
life, many different windows and situations

As far as running paint up onto the glass, that's for outside
of window only. Like Jay said above, it seals up any crack
between glass and sash. Keeps the rain from getting underneath
and causing damage.

I don't tape or scrape excess off though. Using a good brush,
just take your time and barely run up on glass a very tiny
amount with a straight line.

I looked at all those tips yesterday. A few were spot on but
many of them are incomplete. Many are also dumb advice too.
Fun to read though. Maybe someday, I'll do my own "tips
from a painter." Been there and done that for about 100 years.

As always, if anyone ever does have a question, I'm here
and you can ask me. Always glad to help.

Thanks very much, Gary. I will remember that Thanks to jay too for
his/her comments!
