tried to lay a clean line with caulk gun, but it still needs smeared down into the voids and lay down a little flatter to the panel. i tried the whole "dip your finger in water" trick and it didn't seam to help much if at all.

i actually did 2 finger passes. one to press it into the panel gap and to lightly spread it out even, then another to flatten. if doing it again, i would run my finger in different directions each time to really press it into and behind all the welds better. right now i can see a few spots where there's a little void "behind" a weld.
