Aug 15, 2024 · Start at one of the corners of the window pane. Hold your putty knife at a 45-degree angle with the glass and tilt it to touch the wood on the window sash. Then press the blade down with your finger and pull the knife along that strip of putty to flatten it out. Peel off any excess putty that comes off.

- Remove the Glass. Don gloves and safety glasses and cover the broken pane with a rag. Tap the center of the rag-covered pane with a hammer to loosen the shards.
- Remove the Old Putty. Pry out any loose putty with a painter’s tool. Gradually soften the putty that’s still intact by holding a heat gun about an inch away and moving it back and forth.
- Prep the Rabbets. Pry the old metal glazing points out of the rabbets, the grooves in the sash where the glass sits. Scrape and sand the rabbets down to bare wood.
- Bed the Glass. Wiggle the pane into the putty while applying even pressure with the tips of your fingers. Continue pushing down until the glass is centered in the opening and about 1/8 inch of putty remains between the face of the glass and the rabbet.

2 days ago · To complete the replacement process: Allow the glazing compound to dry for 3–4 days. Once dry, use a razor blade to clean up any excess glazing compound around the edges. This step will create a clean, finished look. Prime and paint the glazing compound and surrounding wood to match the rest of the window.
