seam sealer question.

i've been fixing my support pillars and notice the factory used seam sealer between layers when overlaping sheet metal. i have remade the pillars in the same manner(overlapping) but have not used seam sealer because i figured it would make the "roesett" welding (not sure if thats the proper term or spelling) hard to do. thought i would seal the seams afterward. does anyone layer in seam sealer as they go?

thanks
scott

spot welds from the factory dont generate as much heat as the fillett welds, seam seal after or you will have some flamage.

flamage- not good. i'll seal it up after i'm done.

thanks

is the brushable seam sealer from eastwoods good or should it be a caulk substance?
