A method of glazing a sash is disclosed. The method begins by placing a sash on a glazing table, wherein the sash defines an opening therein and has a glazing leg extending into the opening in the sash. At least two positioner assemblies are actuated, each positioner assembly having a position member defining a distal end. Each position member is selectively slidable between a stored position and an extended position. When the positioner assemblies are actuated, each position member is moved into the extended position such that the distal end of the positioner member contacts the glazing leg of the sash. A viewing element is then inserted into the sash opening and into abutting contact with portions of the positioner members so as to create a gap between an interior surface of the sash and an outer edge of the viewing element. Once the viewing element is positioned, the positioner members are retracted. Next, a back bedding glazing compound applicator assembly is actuated to move from a stored position to a dispensing position. The back bedding glazing compound applicator includes a nozzle head that is configured to fit within the gap between the interior surface of the sash and th…
