Right i just want peoples opinion on this...

I have welded in a bulkhead so now i have some seams where the welds have gone.

The question is am i doing this in the right steps.

Welds cleaned up a bit.
Primed.
Seam Sealer across the edges.
Filler (I want to curve the edges of the joins.
Primer
Paint.

Would that be ok?

Well thats the thing the seam sealer is normally used where two metal joins are, supposed to stop water getting in the gaps. Scuttle to wing join in example. Im not sure where to use it in the steps too.
