Although a fugly repair, I wire wheeled seams on rear PS, painted with
rust-treatment primer and top coated. There's lots of filler on my
van, so the difference in "height" between bare metal and exsisting
filler is obvious. Not pretty, but I don't care. It should hold rust
at bay for a while.

POR-15 is a better choice. Not as easy to use, but from what I've read
in archives (hint hint --- ;^) it is the best choice.

As for filling seams, personally I didn't. I just stripped and prepped
as best I could and painted. My thinking is that when water etc. gets
in there, it wil at least dry out. With filler on seam, it may trap
moisture.

Maybe seams can be "filled" with POR-15 ??

Anyone??
