Assembling new flareside bed. Ideas please?

63 F100 flareside restore...
Will be assembling my new bed I got from Midwest classic ford's and wondering what the best way to seal the fenders to bedsides. I know there is some sort of bead which is available but read where someone used an adhesive sealant which sounds like a better idea. Should I run a bead of this along the seam which will be painted and prevent debris from being caught in there? Thanks!

I assembled after painting. This stuff stays plyable and easy to work with. It keeps mud and water from creeping out. I put it behind steps as well. I can attach a photo of assembled bed when I locate one.
