There is a description here:

I have used a method similar to that described but have found it easier to fix the glazing tape to the glazing unit first rather than to the frame and beading. I also didn’t bother with the drainage holes but did add drainage/vent slots to the bottom bead.
A good source of glazing tape and other window products is:

I used the 12 x 2mm glazing tape that allowed me to fit 4/8/4 glazing units to replace original puttied-in 4/6/4 units.
