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?


Just a guess but probably to keep the oil in the glazing compound (they
are generally linseed oil and a filler like whiting) from being sucked
out which would make the glazing compound dry and crumbly .
