Before starting, wear protective gloves and goggles since working with broken glass could cause injuries.
Begin by removing any broken pieces of glass. It is recommended to use pliers however a flathead could be used equally. Use a wood chisel, or putty knives, to take away any old putty remaining around the frame and the window sash. Be careful and slow, taking care not to damage the old window sash. This can be done best on an elevated ladder, not on the ground. Also, ensure that someone below the sash keep it in place.
After you have removed all the old putty, prepare the window frame to accommodate the new pane. Find the width and the height of the opening in the sash and subtract 1/8 inch from each measurement (to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction). These measurements can be sent to an hardware or home centers store to have cut a piece of glass stock to the proper size. Alternately, you can cut the glass yourself if have the right tools.
After installing the new pane, run a small bead of caulking around the edge to ensure it is weatherproof. Then, place a glazier's tip on the frame's opposite side to secure the pane in its place. The points should not be so tight that they cause friction between the frame and sash, but they also should not be too loose.
Before applying the putty on the surface, you must knead it thoroughly until it is smooth and free from lumps. Then, roll it into pencil-size strips. The first strip should be glued to the frame's corner. Work from corner to corner and ensure that it is even and smooth.
Glazier's Points
The glazier's points are the small triangular pieces that allow glass to be secured into a window screen replacement frame without damaging or scratching the delicate surface. Learning how to use these tiny helpers is simple and could save you money on a professional installation or the cost of purchasing new glass.
After getting rid of the old putty glazier points and any residue clean the frame thoroughly using an utility knife. Lightly sand the frame in the rabbet grooves, if necessary, to smooth rough areas. If you do sand the wood, be sure to protect it with painter's tack to avoid accidental damage.
Take the dimensions of the frame and record precise measurements. These measurements can be taken to the hardware or home center store and the new pane will be cut a bit smaller. This will ensure a tight fit, and allow for expansion and contraction.
Place the new pane in the frame and press it into place firmly using your hand. Then, you can use the point of your chisel or the back of the putty knife to make a tap on the glazier's points as illustrated in Figure 11. The glazier's points should be aligned with the top edge of your pane, and the shoulders raised should be just below that lip.
Apply a thin layer glazing compound on the rabbet grooves as well as the edges of the new glass. This will protect and seal the edges. Allow it to dry completely and cure.
After the glazing compound dries and the glazing compound is dry, you can install the new window sash. First, coat the wood with a thick coat of linseed oil. This will prevent the new putty from drying out and cracking when it absorbs moisture. Apply the coating using a brush this coat, or even the tip of the putty blade. Then use the chisel that is on the back of the putty tool or the back of the putty handle to gently hammer the new sash or glazier's point into rabbet grooves. Repeat this procedure every 10 inches around the frame's perimeter.
Putty
A baseball hit, a rock thrown in error or a branch falling can result in a cracked or cracked window pane. Luckily, most windows can be repaired by simply putting a brand new piece of glass in its the proper place. The glass is held in place using tiny metal clips known as a glazier's point, and putty, also called glazing compound. Before you install a new pane, first take out the old one and clean up the area using a rag and an abrasive scraper that is a pull type or an abrasive wood chisel. Wear safety glasses and gloves while working. If the window is glued to the frame, you'll need employ a heat gun in order to soften the adhesive prior to cutting it loose.
If you are planning to install your original sash, you must remove the mold that holds the old pane. Then you can sand the sash down to ensure it's level and ready for new caulk. Once the sash is put back in place then, you can apply a silicone caulk to the glass. This will ensure that it doesn't leak over time or discolor.
Take the glazing points out of the rabbets, the grooves in the sash where the glass sits. If they're difficult to cut out, try holding an instrument like a heat gun over them to soften them before you do. If you're using a heat gun, make sure not to damage the sash or its railings by placing the tool too close.
After the old glazing points and putty have been removed, prepare a bed for the new pane. Roll a rope of glazing compound between your hands, and form it to be about 1/2-inch thick. Then, push it into the rabbets in which the glass will sit. The glass must be positioned against the putty on both sides. If you need to you want to tap your glass lightly into the rabbet with your thumb.
If the new pane has a crack then you can seal it with a solvent-based glass glue or silicone caulk prior to pressing it into the sash.

When you're ready to start, begin by removing the old window pane by prying out the glazing points of metal that are connected to it. They are basically tiny metal triangles that act as "nails" which hold the window in within the frame of wood. They are placed beneath a layer of glazing putty that hardens into a solid, moulded wedge that holds the window firmly in place and conceals the window's points.
After you have the old pane taken away, clean up the surrounding frame and wood. Scrape off any paint that has been used and sand the rabbet grooves that the glazing points were. Sand them down to bare wooden surfaces so you can paint the frames with the same shade. After sanding the wood, apply a layer of flax oil. This will help prolong the life of the frame.
Then, take measurements of the dimensions of the window opening. You'll need to take horizontal and vertical measurements of the entire opening as well as the thickness of the old pane. To get the exact size of the new pane, subtract 1/8 inch from both measurements. This will also allow for expansion and contraction of the glass in times of seasonal changes. You can bring these measurements to a hardware store or home improvement shop and have the glass cut for you.
Now, it's time to bed the new window pane. To do this, place the pane inside the frame and move it around until a 1/16 inch of putty remains between the edge of the glass and the sash on all four sides. Use a putty knife to smear the putty evenly, making sure that there isn't an excessive amount of excess putty in the corners and along the edges. When the putty dries, it can be painted with the same color as the frame to prevent water and air from leaking into the frame and causing fogging.
