Others have commented on the PITA this 'glazing' is.  Mine appears to 
have been done with cloth many years ago (possibly original).  This 
would see to be a more workable alternative.  Appears to me that about 
all the glazing does is keep the glass from moving around -- tightly 
compressed rubber may be overkill as these guys aren't exactly 
watertight vessels.

Anyone know what was originally used to hold the glass in the frame?
