Default Panel Putty..

Does anybody know the name of the putty like stuff that can often be found between panels on a car?

I've been googling but all that comes up is body filler, however it wants to be something that wont harden and crack.

I think that might be the stuff. I wasn't aware that it came in strips.

The putty I removed from the car was a light cream colour like body filler but it was soft and flexible.

I think the stuff you are looking for is seam sealer theres differnt types for different applications, or tiger seal do a range of sealents but that shit is messy
