The most frequent and simplest repair is to the glazing bar between the rabbets or rebates. By removing the damaged glazing bar and gluing a new glazing bar onto the back of the profile. Use exterior grade wood glue and tape to hold for several hours and you have a restored muntin. Definition of Muntin Most rot and damage repairs to rails and stiles can be made with restoration epoxies such as Abatron rather than replacing. When the damage is too then component replacement is indicated. OWR offers muntin, rails and stile stock molded to match your wood windows. Muntin profiles are made from straight grain Pine or Poplar. Muntin and rails are of of straight grain select pine. (other materials used on request). We have a number of period styles typical in New England and other parts of the country(see graphic) but can make custom custom cutters for a fee of $35 per profile. Muntin stock is $3.50 per foot with a minimum $20 order. The stock will come milled as shown in the graphic below. You can cut to size and cope to mate with rail, stile or muntin. (How to repair videos) Tools needed is a coping saw with very fine blade. More teeth per inch the better.
