Unless he uses a flexible seam sealer. It won't look quite as nice, but at least it won't crack out.

BTW, good score.

i used silicon.

It's a little more expensive for the seam sealer, but that's what the manufacturers use. I'd use silicone if I didn't give a shit. My only worry would be paint sticking to it for the long term. Filled seams are usually right at eye level, and cracking sucks.

[TurboMirage]
