touch up and seal

Prior to painting the sections, we will touch up the bare spots and seal the seams where necessary.

I am a native Dutch speaker who has lived in the US for too many years to admit to and who worked in the construction business for 10 years.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I chose this answer for the answer on sealing the seams/joints, although both were good. We do tend to talk about sealing rather than glueing when it comes to maintenance work."

touching up (with a paintbrush) and close any holes with glue

looks like you need a real native speaker for these kinds of translations!
