I sealed first and put Peel Ply in the baffle pattern then glassed in
the baffles.

TEC,
   I don't believe anybody is sealing the portion of the strake that is
directly under a bulkhead or baffle.  I know I didn't.  In theory, fuel
should never see that area if you have a really good coat of Jeffco on
everything including a nice bead on the top of the baffles and bulkheads
when closing out the strake.

Doesn't seem like anyone addressed this directly, and it's to late now,
however.  In "my" theory, if you glass in the baffles first then coat
everything with whatever sealant you plan to use, the area of the strake
under the baffle will not be sealed except with what was there prior to
installing the baffles.
