Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

Step 1

Start by removing broken panes of glass. We removed every other pane of glass to create a pattern. To remove the panes of glass, we used a Dremel MM40 tool with a MM452 BiM Blade. Set your tool to a mid to high speed (at a setting of 8 to 10), and cut the existing glazing, prying the glazing away from the glass pane as you work. For a video on this technique, see our demo video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foaVsgq806c

STEP 2

Step 2

Once the glazing is removed, carefully lift the glass pane away from your door or window. You may notice that it is seated in a groove within the frame so you may need to work the pane back and forth to loosen it before removing. With your glass removed, sand away any rough areas with your Multi-Max tool fitted with 70W sand paper. If you have the MM40 tool, the Dremel Quick Lock® tool-less accessory change between the MM452 blade and the Sanding pad is easy. Just run your tool at a speed of about 8 to 10 and glide the tool back and forth over the area you'd like to smooth out. Note that applying excess pressure isn't necessary here, let the speed of the tool do the work.
