Hints & Tips

Before tackling this job, spread newspaper around the floor to make clearing up afterwards easier. Also, wear a pair of sturdy shoes.

1. If the pane is smashed, remove pieces still stuck in the window by gripping and loosening them. Wear protective gloves and goggles.

2. To remove the old putty, use a chisel or glaziers hacking knife and hammer. Remember to take out any panel pins using a pair of pincers.

3. Brush away any dust and seal wood with primer.
