Dear James: We have older wood windows, and some of the glass panes have cracks but are intact. What is the easiest and best method to replace the glass panes myself? —Denise K.
Dear Denise: Replacing a glass pane in a wood window sash is not rocket science, but it is often done wrong. The glass pane may stay in place, but a do-it-yourself job is easy to notice. The putty lines are often not straight or even, and the paint usually gets over the glass pane.
