If you do sand the wood, make sure to protect it with painter's tape to avoid accidental damage.
Take measurements of the empty frame and note down precise measurements. Take these measurements to a hardware store or a home center and request that the new pane cut smaller than the frame's opening. This will ensure a secure fit and leave room for expansion and contraction.
Place the new pane into the frame and press it into place firmly using your hand. Then use the point of your chisel or the back of the putty knife to tap in the glazier's points, as shown in Figure 11.
