Once the old glass has been removed, take measurements of the opening to fit the new window pane. The pane's dimensions should be slightly smaller than that of the rabbet grooves to allow the window to expand and shrink in response to weather changes. Hardware stores can cut panes to precise measurements.

Roll a cord of glaziers putty into the junction between the frame and the glass after the new pane is positioned. If the putty is too hard to work, put a knife into linseed oil to soften it. Smooth the compound into the joint to create a clean, even joint.

Once the putty is dry, paint it with exterior house paint. Allow it to cure for a few days. If you don't have any exterior paint, you can also refinish the putty with wood varnish.
