What the easiest way to get the glass out now - scraping the putty out
seemed difficult. Should I remove the beading from the other side? Smash
the pane out (although I did want to use the original pane for the
glazier to measure)?


A double glazed panel in a wood frame should be set in a flexible mastic -
not ordinary putty as that will cause it to flex and fail. So it will
require cutting round with a sharp knife - there should be plenty
clearance between panel and wood for this.
