the one thing you really gota avoid is partially raised areas of the sealer so if you can paint the entire area or drag it into a recess then do it. use common sense i guess]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8542599.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8542599.page GMT Fixing gaps between model parts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8542615.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8542615.page GMT Fixing gaps between model parts

liquid green stuff is just outright horrible because it shrinks when it drys..


Hmm, really? I haven't noticed. Though I haven't used it too much, only for small gaps. Gonna have to try it out more then I guess.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8542760.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8542760.page GMT Fixing gaps between model parts
But different gaps like different types of fillers. Greenstuff works well for gaps on organic models. Things where it's good to be able to manipulate it before it cures in to more complicated shapes, but you won't need to manipulate it afterwards.

Milliput can also make for a good gap filling. It can either be applied directly or watered down as more of a paste. It can also be smoothed over and blended in with a bit of water to help it along. Here's the first tutorial that came up when I googled...

For long seams on things like vehicles, where it's vitally important that the gap is filled and then sanded smooth in to the surface to make a flat/smooth surfaces, then something like tamiya putty works well. You apply slightly more than you need then sand it back with sanding sticks to the correct level and then blend it in with some higher grit sand paper.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8542805.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8542805.page GMT Fixing gaps between model parts
For bigger gaps, you will need something like milliput, though it is a pain to sand in my opinion, but still works well, and sets hard where green stuff is softer setting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8542957.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8542957.page GMT Re:Fixing gaps between model parts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8543058.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684860/8543058.page GMT
