netjunkie9 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I know there has to be a seam but I'd like to minimize the appearance. Has anyone ever heard of running a very thin bead of white sealant (silicone or some other flexible, white sealant) down the seam of the glued side? I have fx armor and the asymmetry of the seams on the duplicate calves especially bothers me. Thanks, Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GosHawk[501st] Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I've used caulk to fill a gap. Just make sure you sand and paint when it drys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Trooper Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Apoxie Sculpt. It is awesome and works great. It is a 2 part material and hardens like stone but is very sandable. I love it ----- Edited December 5, 2020 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried something called Kwik Seal high gloss white and it's way too soft - peels off easy with a fingernail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Depending on the seam I use either DAP white paintable caulk, or Apoxie Skulpt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep/..Just try to get something that matches your ABS or just repaint your whole set up...But it works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren1970[501st] Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi Mike. I used white silcone sealant. No painting required and flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
