Whats everyones preferred (and easiest) method of filling seams or gaps? Ive been using Tamiya white putty with a 1/4” wide spatula. But its always a big mess and takes what seems to be forever to sand down. I know some people use superglue to fill gaps then sand smooth.....I’ll be trying this soon, real soon. Can I somehow thin down the Tamiya stuff, put it in a syringe and shoot it into small hard to reach spots? I need some ideas here so I can make my model building time, time well spent. Thanks in advance——Larry

Ive used thickened (as in 'allowed to dry a bit') Tamiya Surface Primer (the one in the square bottle). Applied with the tip of a sharpened wood skewer or a toothpick.

I use Mr. Dissolved Putty, applied with a tooth pick. Works well for me.
