relatives house has some storm windows orginal installed from the 1950s. theyre deciding to either fix them or get new ones. so i took of the outer panel and found this.

what is this? old tar caulk? pretty dry rotted, should i just scrape it all out and put in some new waterproof caulk?

That's called glazing compound. You can buy it at box stores and most paint stores. You need new compound, I recommend UGL Glazol, and a glazing tool. You may also need a pack of points if any are missing. Points are small metal pieced that embed in the wood to lock the glass pane into place. Then you cover it will a new bead of glazing to seal up the install.
