Well i always use that can primer for a whole model, just before painting, so i'm not sure how this will work in such a narrow places. If you have airbrush, than use some enamel paint and (it will stick to plastic and then you can cover it with any acrylic you want), if you don't than you will have to try on some piece of plastic that have same narrow corners and see the results before using on your model. Hold the can 20-30 cm away from surface you want to paint and spray small layers, let it dry (it dry very quickly), and repeat. Because this vallejo thing is basicly a putty with nitro (so it covers small holes), and every time i sprayed too much i left it for couple a minutes and all excess just vapourized. I hope this will help.

P.S. ALWAYS use it outside, never indoors, it smells very intense.
