Seam sealer should go over the primer.

Although I have yet to do this myself, I agree. That's what I've noticed most other folks have done.

Yes something like that should be used, then primer, then seam sealer, and possibly prime again.

I think when I do my bed I am going to try using a brush along with regulated compressed air to try to get the rust converter/prohibiter to penetrate deep into the seem. To the point it "bleeds" out the other side.

Pro-Seal (aircraft sealant) you can shape it nice with soapy water and its paintable ! I use the stuff on rotors that spin just under mach at the tip under 122 g's at 110% power, and I have used it to seal fuel cells. In other works you wont have to mess with it for a while. ha-ha

I think you can get a tube or qt of it around George Bush Interc. Arpt.
