It's seam sealer. Do not replace it with bondo. Seam sealer remains flexible after it dries but can be painted. Get automotive seam sealer at any auto paint store.

Also the seam sealer goes on after final sanding of the primer, before sealer and paint. Atleast that's how I was taught. Do a search in the paint and body section. There are some tricks people use. Like using masking tape on both sides of where you want the seam sealer.

Sticky crap just try to lay down a nice even line and use less then you think. Then level deep down in and you wont have so much excess drag back on the sheet metal. Running a tape line does help i used 3m body caulk worked out great.
