After installing the glass Apply caulking on the edges. This will make the glass weatherproof. Then install a glazier's point on the frame's opposite side to hold the pane in place. The points shouldn't be so tight that they cause friction between the frame and the sash, but they should also not be loose.

Before applying the putty knead it thoroughly until it is soft and free of lumps. Make it into pencil-sized strips. Place the first strip to the corner of the frame, working from one corner to the next so that it is even and smooth.

Glazier's Points

The glazier's points are the small triangular pieces of metal that help secure glass into a window frame without scratching or damaging the delicate surface. Learning how to use these hidden tiny pieces of help is simple and can save you money on professional installation or the cost of purchasing new glass.

Once the old putty and the glazier's points have been removed and the frame is thoroughly cleaned with a utility knife to eliminate any remaining residue.

If you decide to sand wood, cover it with painter's tape to protect it from damage caused by accidental sanding.

Write down the exact dimensions of the frame. Take these measurements to a hardware store or home center, and have the new pane made slightly smaller than the frame's opening. This will ensure that the pane fits snugly and allows for expansion and contraction.

Place the new pane in the frame and push it into the frame using your hand. Make use of the point of the chisel, or the back of the putty blade to tap the glaziers' points as shown in Figure 11. The glazier's points should sit in line with the top edge of your pane and the shoulders raised should be just below the lip.

Apply a thin layer of glazing compound on the edges of the new glass and into the rabbet grooves to seal and protect them. Allow this to dry and cure completely.

Once the glazing compound has dried and the glazing compound is dry, you can install the new window sash. First, coat the wood with a heavy coat of Linseed oil. This will keep the new putty from soaking up the moisture and drying out and cracking with time. Apply this coat using a brush or the tip of your knife, then employ the chisel or back end of the putty knife to gently hammer the new sash and glazier's point into the grooves of the rabbet.

Remove the glazing points in the rabbets. These are the grooves in the sash, which is where the glass is located. If they're hard to chisel out, try holding a hand tool like a heat gun to soften them up first. When using a heated tool, be careful to not scratch the sash's railings and sash.

Make a bed for your new pane after you have removed the old glaze and putty. Roll a piece of glazing compound between your hands, forming it into a 1/2-inch thick. Press it into the rabbets where the glass will be put. It's important that the glass is positioned against the putty in all places on both sides, so if you need to tap it, gently press the glass into the rabbet with your thumb.

If the new pane has cracked, you can apply a silicone caulk or glass glue made from solvents to cover the crack prior to pressing it in the sash. In other cases, you'll need to apply putty over the crack to form a tight seal and keep water out.

After you have removed the old pane taken away Clean up the frame and wood. Scrape away any paint and sand down the rabbet grooves, where the glazing points were. Sand them to bare wooden surfaces, allowing you to paint the frames with the same color. After sanding the wood, apply a layer of flax oil. This will help to prolong the life of the frame.

Then, take measurements of the dimensions of the window opening. It is necessary to take horizontal and vertical measurements of the entire opening and also the thickness of the old pane.

When the putty dries, it can be painted with the same color as the frame to prevent water and replace window Pane air from leaking into the frame and causing fogging.
