[Healeys] Seam sealer followup

[Rich C]

Elton,

We always use seam sealer, carefully and thoroughly applied to all seams 
that have the slightest chance of getting water into them. Capillary action 
will cause water to creep between two sandwiched surfaces so everything 
possible must be done to prevent this.
Use a caulking that is meant specifically for this job, an automotive caulk 
that is meant to take paint, and will not eventually go brittle, break down 
and fall out.. Not cheap, but very effective.
Would you build a house and not caulk around door and window trims, allowing 
water to get in there and start rot? I think not.
