Default putty for conservatory windows?

Only just on topic I know, but does anyone have knowledge of the best type
of putty to use on wooden windows which get hot and wet? its the bead
outside that seems to crack and drop out in sections, makes painting a right
pain.

I tend to use silicon when glazing new sections of new wood and new glass.
but repairing older parts I have in the past used linseed oil putties but
that only seems to last a short while, is there something better like the
putty for metal frame windows perhaps? or some other filler type, preferably
one I don't need to constantly have to paint!
