Default The perils of commercial kits

Find one, buy it, put it together. Mostly - then stop as I realise the
back panels are made of ply, and haven't been painted on the edges -
which might be a problem since the bottom edges sit in a cross member
that has a 1/4 inch wide groove in it, and will doubtless hold water.

Then realise the inside of the groove hasn't been painted either.


Wouldn't the solution have been to fill the groove with a sealer/caulk
and then insert the ply?
