Really good idea there and a job well done.
The "glue" you referred to is actually sealant which is used whenever metal body components are mated by bolting or spot welding.
Without sounding critical I would do the same job with a couple of things included.
(A) When replacing the hinges on the body,re-apply additional body sealant.
(B) Aluminum bolted to steel creates a galvanic corrosion problem. Basically it's a simplistic electric battery caused by the contact of two or more dissimilar metals. Maybe the brain surgeons that designed these parts replace their vehicles yearly and aren't too concerned about future rust problems. When you take into account winter salting of roads adding electrolite into the "battery" they sold us they should probably move on to becoming rocket scientists.
Taking the above comments into account, the use of anti-seize containing copper or aluminum in the ingredients makes the problem worse.
It's not too late however to clean out that copper and replace it with a higher grade (and unfortunately priced) Loctite product such as N-7000.
Sure you'll grumble about the cost but it lasts on the shelf and the vehicle forever and be there for all your upcoming projects. Look at it as a pay now or pay more later thing.

Great post. I just might have to do this. If anyone does this on a Deep Water Blue, please post some pics.
It will be black, but not shiny.
Good info here. Quick question- Loctite??? 
Thats to hold things in place. How does that work when the doors are supposed to open? (Not trying to be a smartass, just curious)
