Default Flex Seal?

Looking for a product like Flex Seal. Read some bad reviews about how
they do business, but the product is supposedly good.

What I have is, a front door with a side light on each side. The
panels are metal, and because (ok don't yell at me!) of neglect, one
panel is starting to rust. The problem is, on the exterior, from the
factory, they have a piece of moulding at the bottom. Some years ago
I caulked it, but haven't kept an eye on it. The caulking has
cracked, the wood on the metal panel needs replaced, but I feel the
need to treat the base of the panel with something so no further rust
will occur. Maybe slap a new piece of treated lumber on the metal by
caulking into place to hide the area after applying a rubberized
paint. Really don't want to buy a gallon of stuff, which would be go
to waste.
Since replacing a new entry door with sidelights is out of the
question, ideas appreciated.


Step #1 - regardless of what else you do - is to get rid of the rust to bare
metal, then prime/paint to prevent further rusting. Check auto body supply
places for materials.
