So do you use a seam sealer before the Everglass or does the Everglass work to seal the seam and smooth it out? Thanks!

For these particular areas, the 'glass seals just fine....just mostly little pinholes. Adding a touch up epoxy coat on top of that, especially where sanding/scuffing through to bare metal.
For areas that are a true seam (like, trunk floor to the rear tail pain), I'll use seal sealer then a shot of epoxy on top of that and then the Raptor. Good tip is to run masking tape on both sides of the seam, then spread the sealer, then peel up the tape in the middle of the cure cycle....makes for a clean line.
Probably a bit excessive here, but I'm fortunate to have a good friend that is a high-end paint dude and he's been kind enough to guide me through the little but important details, thus I'm taking his advice 100%. Wish I had the $$ to have him do it!!!
