    I have my front body panels off redoing the motor. When I put them back on I was thinking of putting putty tape where they come together. Is that a good idea?

    I wonder if we're talking about the same thing. Putty tape is used on RV's to seal seams and comes in rolls.

    flatfenders came with what looked like thin strips of fire hose
    whatever you use, you don't want it to retain moisture
    strip caulk might be what you are talking about; would probably work, comes in black or white
    I don't think you need an excess amount though

    The stuff that goes in there is paintable. it doesn't get hard but stiffens up like rubber or RTV.
