[MassHistPres] asbestos window putty

[SCeccacci at aol.com]

In two different cases over the past several months I have been told that  
otherwise intact and salvageable wood window sash could not be reused because  
the glazing putty contained asbestos.  
 
Does anyone have information on the feasibility and cost of removing  
asbestos glazing putty to allow the reuse of historic windows?  
 
What window repair companies will accept asbestos tainted windows for  repair?
