Tutorial - Removing Seam Lines

1. Place the 2 parts of plastic to be joined together and leave a small gap between them.


2. Apply cement to the gap. Allow the cement to flow in by capillary action (sucked into the gap).



3. Squeeze the 2 pieces until excess plastic flows out.



4. Wait about a day for the plastic to harden before sanding. You should be able to reduce the visibility of the seam line.

  3. @menagunplacorner thks for the thumbs up.

    @CHong Hiu Fung, probably you didn't use enough cement. Worst case is to use putty to fill any remaining gap or hole.
