Take the Putty off
It is often difficult to get rid of the glazing putty used to secure glass pieces that have been tempered into their frames. It can be difficult to remove as it hardens and then dries. To avoid this it is essential that the old putty be removed before installing the new window pane. It isn't an simple task but it is doable with a little perseverance and effort. It is recommended that you wear leather gloves and eye protection when working around the glass as it could be extremely dangerous.
To begin the process of removing the putty, first take out any nails or spriggs that are holding the window in place. These nails were used to keep the window in place before double glazing or upvc was available. These nails are typically located in the corners and can be removed using the help of a screwdriver or a hacksaw if they are visible. If any are hidden, you will require a small chisel (or putty chisel) to remove the frame.
Mineral spirits will be needed to remove any old glue that remains after taking off the nail. The product is available at many hardware stores and is best used in a ventilated area. Use the oil in short intervals, as overheating paint or wood can make it crack or explode.
A heat gun can also be used to soften the putty. This will work better on putty that has been painted over or is hardened and can be extremely efficient. Be sure to move around when using the heat gun since being stationary for too long can burn the wood and lead to cracked glass.
You can also use a steel wool to remove the putty, but this method isn't as efficient and can be very messy. This should only be used as a last resort, and is not recommended for homes with children.
Remove the Glazing Points made of metal
A baseball hit or a tree branch that flies off could damage a window. And although most people assume that a damaged window needs total replacement of the frame and sash just replacing the glass is enough to fix a home's view and save energy costs.
The first step of replacing a window is to remove the metal glazing points which hold the old pane in place. Using a putty knife, scrape off as much softened glaze as is possible to expose the glass points. There should be four points, one on each side of the frame. Once you have a clear view of the metal then use needle-nose pliers to hold each one in your hands and pull it straight out. Be careful not to prick too hard. If the point is stubborn or breaks, you could damage the frame and need to replace it.
After removing the metal points and putty, it is now time to begin to prepare the frame. Clean the grooves where the glass will be placed and ensure that they are smooth and free of cracks and dents. A heat gun is useful for this, but remember to be cautious and employ a low temperature in order to stop the wood from bending or deteriorating.
If the glass is double-paned, you can take a piece of the old pane to ensure that the new one is positioned correctly. Spread a thin layer of silicone sealant over the inside surface of the frame rabbet, and then press the glass into it. Finally, trim any excess sealant with a sharp blade and apply a coat exterior paint to complete the job.
If you only have one glass pane do not bother with this step. If the new glass is different thickness from the original, get the appropriate size piece of glass from your local glass cutter. Install a glazier's push point at every corner of the frame's rabbet, prior to installing the new pane (two per side for small windows, and more for larger windows). This will add extra support to the pane and help to prevent it from being snagged as time passes.
