Whats the best way to make puff pastry seams stick?
My turnovers keep bursting open, I've tried beaten egg and flour n'
water paste neither worked well enough.

Go easy on the egg mixture so it can dry a bit before baking. No rush
getting them into the oven, you can let them sit for 10 or 15 minutes. You
can also roll the seam out a little and crimp it or fold it over by rolling
it between your fingers in a spiral motion.

Make sure: the pastry is fully defrosted
moisten the edges water is fine
press the edges with the tines of a common fork
Don't overfill.
poke a vent hole or several with the tines of the fork
or a toothpick

That's an interesting problem. OTOH, the whole point of puff pastry is
that the layers don't stick with each other. I don't think there's
anything wrong with the fillings being exposed if it's a sweet fruit
filling. I'd put in even more filling in to show that you're not
concerned even the slightest bit with it bursting open.

If the filling is a meat filling, then you've got a problem. Maybe you
shouldn't use puff pastry.
