The Necron Immortal's upper torso is split in half length wise, which leaves a seam running from the neck to the edge of the shoulder pad. I've tried building up some liquid green stuff to smooth it out, and after priming it, I'm still seeing the seem pretty well.

What are y'all doing to get rid of these seams?

Regular green stuff
Make a couple of really small rolls, apply, smooth out with the tool of your choice, sand/file/scrape any excess off once dry.

Took me around an hour to do ten of em, but I wasnt in any kind of hurry ...

Liquid GS will usually just run right through the seam.

I've found that LGS needs several applications and you can't water it down to much or it will run straight through.

I've been using GS just as Flachzange says. For me, it's been pretty time-consuming...but it works. I'd be really interested to hear any alternative methods though. I find doing any precision work with GS really tries my patience.

Agreed. Though it does depend on the seam. I tried this on a lord, and after the third coat i could still see the seam, hence the switch to regular gs.
If its "closed" somewhere at the bottom, the LGS cant run anywhere obviously.

Apply some liquid green stuff on the seam, but don't water it out. Wait a couple of seconds until it starts to set, and then use the metallic sleeve on your brush as a 'rolling pin' and scrape off/smooth out the LGS. When filling the gap from below, just use the rounded part of your brush instead.

Do this 1 or 2 times, and the seams should disappear.

Use a damp (not wet) brush instead and you can get this done faster and smoother.
