Default Double layer of fender metal question

Hi Group,

Newbie question about a front fender for a (British car) Morris Minor.

The edge that is part of the door opening or the "A" post has a rolled edge on the fender which puts 2 pieces of metal together to form a 180* 1/8" bead.
The fender has rusted from the inside out in a 2" length x 2" width of the sandwich edge. I have cut it out and formed a new piece ready to weld in.

My question is, with these sandwich panel edges and other double layer body work that is exposed to the elements, is it advisable to use seam sealer to close these areas after the metal work is done, or is this going to magnify the problem later?

Alternative ideas always welcome.

I'm having a great time forming new metal. I look forward to any suggestions.

TX
