glue?
okay, okay...any of the hobby fillers will work. Just make the seams the best you can and you may not have to use much filler

If the sheeting is going on a foam wing, nothing. Instead use Polyurathane glue - Elmers Pro Bond and it will bubble up between the sheets and attach the sheets very well. Or it least it has on the last 4 foam wings I skinned.
On open bay structures, you probably want to use wood glue, NOT CA, or ambroid so the joint can be sanded.
Ah...glue? Dr.1 Driver "There's a Hun in the sun!"
Shouldn't be any 'seams' in a sheeted model . . . see how to do it 'seamlessly' . . .
