	I am sectioning a ‘51 Chevy. I got the panels tacked back in place with Tamiya solvent and bits of styrene and CA. Due to a poor cut, I have a fairly large gap in spots. I’m not fond of the idea of filling the cracks with CA or putty. For access to the interior joint, I made this little scraper from 1/16” stainless tig rod and chucked it in my pin vise. I also made one 90 degrees to this one for the vertical seams. After gouging out the seam I glued in some 1/16 Evergreen half round with copious amounts of Tamiya thin cement and smushed it into the trough. When it’s good and dry I will do the same to the exterior. On the exterior, I can use the butt end of a drill bit. Some places I can get away with nothing or .020” round for filler and some I need .060” half round.😳
