MIRACLE MUDD CEMENT
Strengthens and Weatherproofs Windows and Panels Made with Came
Miracle Mudd is the creation of Alice Zimmerman as a result of her desire to create a user-friendly solution to cementing lead came windows.

Back in the day, you had to scrounge around to find the separate ingredients. Depending on whose formula you were using, you may have even been setting yourself up for disaster. Then there was the premixed cement in a can. Miserable to mix, smelled badly and had a shelf life only slightly longer than cottage cheese..

Alice's formula comes packaged as a plastic bag of dry powder and a bottle of liquid. Mix the two according to directions and to the thickness and consistency that you prefer. Mix as much as you need. Doing a quick repair? Just mix a few tablespoonfuls. Doing a small panel? Mix a cup or so. Once mixed, you have plenty of time to work the cement before it sets. Unmixed Mudd has an indefinite shelf life.

TWO COLORS AVAILABLE

  • BLACK Use this one if you are working in lead came. The Black Mudd will give your came a softly darkened burnished finish when you are done
  • NATURAL  Use this version when working with Zinc, Brass or Copper cames. Also known as "Gray"

TWO SIZES AVAILABLE

  • 1.3 lb - sufficient to do about 3-4 sq ft of leaded glass
  • 6.3 lb - for heavy duty users. Will do about 12-15 sq ft.
  • Note: Your coverage will vary depending on lead to glass ratio and width/height of your came.

EXTRA INGREDIENTS ARE AVAILABLE SEPARATELY

Some people like their Mudd thick and stiff, others thin and runny. Alice packs enough ingredients for most people's tastes, but if you run out of either the dry or the wet ingredients, we have them available separately.

OTHER STUFF YOU WILL NEED TO CEMENT YOUR WINDOWS
CEMENT BRUSHES

Our cement brushes are made with natural tampico fiber bristles. They are used to push cement under the leaf of the came. Available in two sizes:

Small Cement Brush - 1-1/4 x 4-1/2 inches with 1/2 inch long bristles
Order #0670 
$2.39

Large Cement Brush - 2-1/4 x 7-1/4 inches with 1 inch long bristles
Order #0671 
$4.29

NOTE: Don't get stuck buying a brush with plastic bristles from the dollar store. Non-natural bristles may react with the solvents in your glazing compound causing the bristles to soften, fall out or even melt.

WHITING cleans flux and cement residue from came work. Sprinkle this white powder on your panel after picking off excess cement. Swirl around with a scrub brush, and sweep up the excess. Two sizes are available:

One Pound Bag of Whiting
Order #0785  
$1.99

Five Pound Bag of Whiting
Order #0786  
$4.99
