I had already ordered the SEM self leveling seam sealer for the drip rails prior to your post. The package does say that it is made for drip rails. I'm going to apply it after the epoxy primer is applied and see how it looks.

I believe you have experienced the poor results of a self levelling seam sealer I tried to warn you about. It's the technology of the sealer itself not being easy to use and does nothing that a simple seam sealer would do with far less mess, permanent mistakes and money spent. :smoke:

I hate to say I told you so but...

I have yet to find a seam sealer that wasn’t a sticky gooey mess if you had to smooth it out

I’m happy with how the sealer went in and it’s looks overall. It seems to be a lot more tough than regular seam sealers. The next time I use it I expect it would be a perfect job.
