Welding in 4speed hump

I should get to weld in my 4 spped hump this weekend.

Should I use stitch welds and fill the rest with seam sealer? Somehow welding the entire circumference of the hump seems excessive. Yes /no?

Also I was thinking of using undercoating on the bottom (exterior) side. I have already shot it with self etching primer. After cleaning the weld and touching up the primer can I undercoat over it or should I use some paint on it first?

Thanks,

CE
