Hi my cam covers are wavy and dosent seal properly even with genuine gasget set.
So has anyone tried to glue those covers shut with sealant and gasgets like this youtube videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_jQB4vK3Oc
Not so over kill but just runing nice cmall bead in cover's groove and bit wider bead on the block

"over kill" that's an understatement  it shouldn't leak. Hope the excess doesn't fall into the engine.

Surprised the cam cover bolts were long enough to take up all the slack that gunge made.

Why not just do it properly

This is what the camcovers looked when i tried to do it properly but the are starting to sweat allready.
And straight covers aren't availible atm

there always option of using vectra b metal covers but those are not cheap
still need clean your breather system other way will blow crank seals

I wouldn't do that TBH.
If you use a lot of sealant, there is a real possibility that some of it may 'drip' into the camshaft area, where it could block some oil paths - that would be a game over.

Start searching for new or good used camcovers.

I have a set of straight cam covers here, and a set of new GM gaskets and o-rings. Pm me if interested.
