So based on experience and expert knowledge, what's the best way to prep metal for lap joints, especially with plug welds? No paint or treatment? Ospho? Weld-through primer? And what about seam sealant after welding before paint?

The ban link is a good one.. Remember steel melts at 2750 a d no primer in the world can withstand it so naturally as it degrades in the weld area(HAZ) then it will contaminate the weld area..typical carbon steels have a range from 1008 to 1095 with carbon added to the iron to make each grade of steel.. The amount of carbon added is approximately .08%-.95% respectively.. Now if you add another carbon source then it changes the steel dramatically thus potential embrittlement to the steel.. The same thing can happen just by using some layout pencils and writting utensils..
