If your DG window has a bead running round the glass holding it in (very good chance it will have) - then yes your laughing. Simply "pop" the side bead off then the other three will come out easily - "pop" your new glazed unit in and put the beads back on. Simples

Good lord!:eek:

i use a couple of filler knives to remove the old beading. replace the glass unit, then install the beading back in,
with help from a rubber hammer.

You're all making it sound easy!

It is that easy take the bead out put the glass in put the bead in.

The first bead might take a bit to get out as will the last one to put back in but it really is as simple as opening a tupperware putting in biscuits and putting the lid back on

Also if you mange to break/bend the first bead - dont worry simply take it to your glazer smile nicely and get them to cut you another the same size about 3 quid!!!!! also - a little tip for putting the last bead in easily - about half way down the bead put a little "snip" in the plastic THE BIT YOU CAN'T SEE THAT GOES INTO THE FRAME/WINDOW (get your glazeing company to show you if this doesn't make sence) then it wil flex a lot easier and tap in with rubber hammer or the likes as ormus says.

Plaster: If you come and do it, I'll not only give you tea and biscuits, but cake too... and sausage rolls . I'll remove the tupperware lid and put it on a plate with napkins and even make Earl Grey with lemon if you want .

Thanks for your help though.

Put it on a plate Ooh eer misses :rotfl: IM THERE - Sorry couldn't resist it. If your near the cotswolds I would do it for a cuppa and bacon sanga as it would only take 20 minutes max. Give it a go - if you can't do it then ring a local guy to have a look. When he comes round he won't be able to resist doing it for 20 quid cash as hes already there with the materials . Best of luck, i'm off to work now. I'll pick the thread up later.

Before removing get some cheap sticky back plastic and cover both sides of the window in it. Also where riggers gloves safety goggles and long shelf shirt and dont where shorts.

ive got about 3 dozen shirts, yet i must confess to not owning a long shelf shirt.
