What do you guys use to "Fill Gaps" in styrene joins?
I have read about a lot of things from melting styrene rods to Bondo to Tamiya Putty and so on. I've used Tamiya Putty on aircraft models and didn't really like how it ended up. I'e also used Bondo for its intended use but not sure how that will react with styrene or ABS.
I should add, the gaps I know will need to fill are going to be small. The plan is to "drill" a hole in styrene large enough for an SMD LED to fit into. Because the LED is rectangular, there are going to be very small gaps between it and the styrene. They are the gaps I want to fill. Whatever is recommended will also act as an adhesive for the LED, or at least that is the plan.
