I've had little luck filing in the seems between sheets so they don't crack overtime. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

You can try painters tape to seal your seam. Paint and ground cover will camouflage it.
I am assuming you are talking about seams on pink board laid on a table. Mentioned was taping the seam then covering with scenic material. I have found that seams have a tendency to crack. I had one place that was a wooden seam and I had it covered with drywall plaster. When I redid my scenery I used Gypsolite and after a short time it cracked on the seam. I think the best thing to do is cover seams with scenery if possible.............Paul
I've had better luck with caulk, its stays more flexible than the tape/dry wall materials.

I used a roll of 1" Green painters tape on my last 3 layouts. Worked well and was painted when the foam boards were. No Problem at all. And very inexpensive.

good advice all, thanks.
Just realized I have a roll of Tyvek tape from another project, I suspect that would work just as well. Thanks for the tip.
Seams like a good idea.

Painter's Tape works just fine. If you actually want a volume filler in case your seams are uneaven, I go with sculptamold. Great stuff for filler, mountains, roads, etc.

Hhhmmm. Instead of tape or tape over the sculptamold?
I used fiberglas mesh drywall tape--don't crack.
