To clarify further, in my case, some months after applying the Fluid
Film, I tackled the seam work in the middle of January or some such
colder month. And, I didn't knowingly spray it directly into the seam
at inside of panel. However......

To get the primer, sealer, paint to set up, I kept the panels *warm*
with a heater on inside of vehicle. This worked stunningly well but I
suspect that even with judicious cleaning of the seam, the heat may
well have helped the Fluid Film creep into the seam. However. I saw
zero evidence of that, the sealant and paint did not lift.

And if the body work on my bus has shamed your bus in any way,
well......      ;)

Seriously though. My bus is an eye sore!
