How to remove/reseat double glazing in wooden frames

[Southy007]

Hi,

I've got a few double glazing panels to replace. I've removed the external beading ok, but the panel is solid in the recess, and the putty that I can see is also rock solid.


What's the best way to remove this panel? Prise it from the inside, or "gently" tap it with a rubber mallet?

When it is removed, what's the best way to reseal it? I've read NOT linseed oil putty? Can anyone point me towards the right product.

Thanks to all in advance, any help is appreciated.

Actually you' do better using these

and filling the gaps between with silicone or similar. You'd probably manage to buy a few from a local glazier...pinenot

Thanks for the reply.

There's seems to be a few methods of putting the new panel in:

1 - Butyl 66 glazing compound in the recess, then neutral cure silicon around the edges of the panel, then beading pinned on.

2 - flexistrip/security tape on the recess, then silicon around again, beading pinned on.

3 - silicon recess and same as above.

Advice on the best way to go?

It doesn't look like you have enough room for glazing tapes, Even 1mm tape will bring the beads out further.

Probably have to just use silicone
