A friend of mine taught me to simply cut up very small pieces of plastic and
put them in a bottle of Testor's Liqued Cement. I've never used the MEK
that you mention, but I'd bet that it works about the same. Once this
"paste" sets, you can sand, file or paint it just as you would any other
polystyrene.

I'm looking for a filler for the seams on plastic model buildings (on
an HO layout). Very narrow seams, maybe half a mm wide. A bit too
wide for paint to fill them in. Is there a good model-shop product to
use? Or something else?
Thanks!

I use two different fillers: "Squadron Green" (US product) and my own
filler, made by putting plastic sprue shavings into MEK (plastic solvent)
in a (glass) typists whiteout bottle. I can vary the thickness of the
filler over time by adding more plastic shavings or MEK.
Regards,
