Preparing the sash is necessary when you are planning to replace glass in windows. This is a job that should be carried out with care and using the correct equipment. You might be able to find a sash to fit the window of your past. A local hardware store might offer a replacement sash.

To properly prepare the sash you must remove the old glazing compound from the window. This should be done with the help of a chisel or putty knife. To not damage the paint the paint, you must wear eye and face protection, and gloves. The best way to do this is to employ a sawhorse.

After the glazing compound has been removed, you'll require an additional coat of paint to cover the sash. This job is best done using an oil-based primer. Apply the primer to the sash and allow it to dry. It is also essential to wash the sash clean of any oily fingerprints. When you apply the new paint, you'll need to apply it at a minimum of one sixteenth of an inch thick. This will keep the sash from sticking to the frame.

After the glazing has been removed, you will have to take off any loose paint or rust that has accumulated on the window. Letting it sit on the wood will cause it to get wet and absorb putty. These problems can weaken the wood and eventually cause it to fall off. Depending on the amount of paint or rust remains behind, you may only require the glazing to expose the wood. If the sash has signs of water damage, you'll require treatment.

Before removing the window glass, it's recommended to clean the sash. To get rid of dust and dirt you can make use of a glass cleaner or boiling linseed oils. You can keep them from becoming stuck by cleaning the sides of your sash as well as the meetingrails.

You can remove the glazier's point, which are tiny metal clips when they're loose. They are typically located at the center of the side. Remove them by pressing them into the wood using the help of a putty knife. You can also repair them using a two-part wood epoxy.

After you have the sash set, you can refresh your glass. This is a fairly simple procedure, and it should take only a few hours. But you'll need to wait at least an entire week for the putty to set.
