Best caulk/silicone to use for small bead between wooden frames/glass?

Hello all.

I'm painting some wooden sash windows and they need to be finished to 'match' with regards the beading the other windows in the same building have.

I've used Dulux Ultimate Opaque on the exterior, and Zinnser Perma white for the interior, so will need something that will stick to these paints, plus the glass. Any ideas? I'm just overwhelmed with the choice - but Dow Corning 796 seems to be cropping up a lot. (I know it would look better without, but it will tidy some rough woodwork and it's what the client wants.

Pics below.

I deleted my response because they don't look like wooden sash to me. Which part needs caulking?

Can you see the photos I attached? you can see some rather poor caulking on those, that runs between the frame and the glass. I need to do the same on the windows I've painted (and hopefully a bit neater!)
