I have used several methods to keep the heat away from the glass as well as possible. A metal shield that protects the glass and is angled to direct the heat directly onto the putty, a soaked piece of wood to absorb the heat as well as directing it toward the putty. Can't say which one was best but using no more heat than necessary and going slow was my best method.
I used my heat gun before I saw your reply... 3 corners have cracks in them...nowoops

Use a heat gun to soften the putty or caulk but be careful not to either set wood on fire of break the glass.

The windows in this house were put in 41 years ago by the previous owner. The caulk is hard. Very hard white almost crunchy stuff.
I am having a difficult time trying to chisel it off. Any suggestions?
