Link to intro thread with a couple pics

I have several general questions. Feel free to tell me to search if these are very common and easy to find, I'll admit I'm being lazy here and haven't searched all of these yet. But sometimes I find too much info, and see opinions for and against various things.
1. The old skin has a bunch of various holes in it from PO "repairs". A whole lot of screw holes. For small holes like this, is Bondo a bad idea? Other than the screw holes, the skin is in great shape, no collision damage or gouges that I can see.
2. The skin doesn't wrap around the corners where the sides meet the top/front/back. Should I use butyl tape on the side and top of the corner? Or something like Seal Tite Corner Seal? Or both?
3. I figured it would be good to use something like Thompson's Water Seal on the framing studs. Is this a bad idea? Not just for in the case of water intrusion, but Florida air is super humid most of the year, and I want to protect against moisture any way I can. I plan on keeping a dehumidifier in it when parked, if that gives you any idea.
4. Would it be beneficial at all to do titebond II and canvas under the metal skin?
5. Alternatively (or additionally?) would using Tyvek be a good idea?
