Okay, okay, you guys have shamed me into doing the job more
properly...Albert is going to get spoiled and start expecting me to do
things the right way the first time on everything.  At least it sounds like
I can put off doing the inside work until the dark months, when camping is
less inviting.

So, I'm trying to figure out this oily stuff that you spray on the inside
seam area.  I can see how it might infiltrate though the seam and stain the
paint from underneath, but what is this  "will creep out and collect dust
on the outside in places" about?.  The seam is covered with seam sealer,
then primer, and then paint.  The only way it could "creep out" is if it
breeches all 3 layers of shielding...well, two layers, as primer really
doesn't shield from water.

What if, instead, the inside seam are is treated with a rust converter
paint and then the entire panel and seam area is covered in a thick coating
of bed-liner.  That should keep moisture out of the seam and provide some
sound deadening.
