box sealant?

i just built my box but theres some gaps, and advice on what i should use, i would love to just spray something inside that would put a coat over the entire inside, but also fill some of the bigger cracks. some are tiny, some are kinda big.

I would fiber glass the inside gaps. if you don't have any experience with fiber glass buy a body filler that has fiber glass hair in it. that would be your best bet.
good luck

Is there something else that's not as messy like some kind of liquid deck sealer or something that can be used instead?

Undercoating will seal but only on the outside, not the inside.

Just use resin mix it hot and it will flow into the cracks and dry fast. Can also be used on the out side.
