I've read a fair bit about re glazing old windows. Everyone, including
the instructions on the back of the DAP 33 container reccommends oil
based primer. I have plenty of latex primer and with oil based paints
being phased out in general what type of glazing compound should I use
with a latex primer?

And why does DAP reccommend oil based primer?

They have latex glazing compound, for which they rec. latex based
primer. Old glazing method - one, anyway - was to paint on linseed oil
prior to glazing. Old glazing compound was oily, so would probably
leave oil residue in wood and keep latex primer from sticking. Good
