[VAL] RE: seam sealing
Seam sealing is really only needed if you are addressing a known seam
leak, usually from a dent damage or repair, or after refinishing the
skin to provide a smooth edge, keeping moisture and dirt from collecting
in the seam.
The skins are lapped over each other with that whole in-between surface
sealed with sealant at production. If you do reseal, wait for the
polishing, or after the clearcoat removal. The sealant won't stay put
if applied over the clearcoat. I noticed you've picked the Parbond or
Vulkem over silicone - good choice. Never use silicone, as you have
probably gathered.
Best of luck,
RJ
