First I prime the frame and then I use a non-hardening glazing compound to hold the glass in and seal against the weather. The old school method is with linseed oil and whiting.
After 2 weeks of waiting for a skin to develop on the glazing compound, paint with micro-porous alkyd enamel or breathable natural paint.
I make use of patio door glass. It's tempered. Quite often, they are disposed of because the seal has gone and there is mist or mildew inside, between the panes.
I carefully cut the rubber seal and separate the panes, so that I get two panes of tempered glass for every thermal unit.
