Glazing compond or tape?

[JohnD]

I have some part-glazed hardwood doors, with internal glazing bead.

I didn't do a very good job at the original fitting so have decided to make new beading with a more solid square section.

I have heard of glazing tape, but not seen it. I get the impression it is a sort of rubbery stuff. Would this be preferable to the glazing compound I used before, which looks like brown putty? Or is there something better?

You could use Butyl Glazing Tape which is basically putty on a roll. Stick it onto the edges of the glass on both sides and cap off with neutral cure silicone (if you wish).
The butyl tape costs about £5-£6 for a 15 metre roll and I would have thought it would be available from all glaziers and most DIY sheds.
