I'm thinking about this dental resin in the hypo tube. Has anyone used it? Any good? I mean, it must be, dentists use it.

Can you use it for filling gaps and seams or joining parts?

If it's clear acrylic resin, then it's good stuff. Fine Scale Modeler magazine has run multiple articles, by Paul Budzik (a dentist, who builds WW2 aircraft models in 1/48 scale) on how to utilize clear acrylic dental resin, in your model building. I've been told that Clear Acrylic Dental resin, is fairly pricey stuff... so caveat emptor...
