I'm spot sanding the bucket of my ST824.  There are some areas that are in need of a filler, such as seams and welds.  I know sharp edges are where paint tends to get thin and be the first place that paint will peel from.

I'm considering automotive seam sealer, but wonder if epoxy would do the trick as well.  Maybe I'm being penny wise and pound foolish.  I hate to buy a 14oz, caulking gun sized tube of seam sealer to use a tiny bit.  I have some paintable epoxy on hand.  I know you shouldn't use anything with silicone in it; paint won't stick.

Any suggestions.

Well, I painted already.  I am going to put the sealer over the paint.  I know it is backwards, but I didn't strip the paint entirely.  Just spot sanding and prime.

"Eastwood's high-solids Seam Sealer seals cracks, crevices and body seams, as well as waterproofs and insulates; remains flexible. Adheres to paint; tack-dries in 15 minutes, air dries in 1 hour. Black in color, but can be painted after 1 hour. Use a standard caulking gun to apply."
