Next depending on the type of seam sealer, either wet your fingers with water or thinner, reducer and run your fingers along the seam sealer, just like when you do a bath tub surround. TRhis will give you a nice flowing look and then take the masking tape off right away, DO NOT let it sit there and let the sealer harder, will never look right or lay down right. Nite.

Good luck, and it is definetly coming along. James
Thanks for the tip James. I had not thought of taping it, but it makes sense.
