Col, that Flexistrip price sounds about right, when I originally did the wooden windows that is what I used, mine was gotten from Magnet Joinery as I used to have a trade account with them, that stuff shouldn't affect the DG seal as you don't put it on the seal, just around the perimeter of the face of the glass, a lot of DG units fail because of water that has got trapped under the bottom edge where it sits on the frame, that is a good reason to use glazing spacers especially on the bottom, on our wooden windows the bottom glazing spacer lifts the bottom of the bottom glazing bead off the bed of the rebate, the front of the bottom glazing bead is machined with a drip lip which hides the said gap ie: if water gets in between the bottom glazing bead/putty/ and the glass then the water is free draining and no damp can build up.
