Note: I am taking my Mig Welder down to .025 wire from the .035 wire so that i can lower the heat for welding the panels in.

Question: The floor joints, the ones filled in with seam sealer. Can you just weld these up rather than use seam sealer? I asking because one of my issues is the floor to foot well seam is where i have an issue and new panels need to be inserted here. I thought, hell, just take 1 solid piece and install it over the seam. Hope that makes sense.
Is that ok?
