No - the lead doesn't need sealing - bottom paint is all it needs. I'd take the InterP down past the joint though - might help to seal it a bit better. On an iron keel it's a different story - I epoxy faired my iron keel then Interp'd it a couple of times more just to help ensure against rust through
