I want to take some kind of putty and put a thick bead of it along all the 90' corners on the inside of my box. Then take somethig round such as a quarter or washer and drag it along so its a nice flush ) along all the seams. No air dead areas...
What would EASILY do the trick? Wood filler? a bondo of some sort? I've never used any of that chit before. Something thats easy to mix I suppose.
Suggestions?

PVC and then kitty hair it in place. Sand, sand, and sand some more to get it smooth. You may even want to throw some body filler on it to help it along the way.

Do a search on google, but basically it is a body filler with either short or long fiberglass strands within it. Body filler has no strength. Kitty hair has some strength to it.

"bullnose" works very well a lot thinner than pvc and no lengthwise cuts required.

Nice T-Line you are building there. I have done some research on them but without spending some mad crazy time staring at a computer screen the stuff does not make that much sense. The concept is there, but the math is way beyond me.
Sorry for jacking the thread just had to make note of the box design...

works on both inside & outside edges...flexible so it'll conform to most any angle.
I don't know if you have an air stapler like an uphlostery one, but i think you could look into that instaed of screws... a couple pulls of the trigger and bam. i have to use it when making new door panels to the old GM's

oh but of course! though the bullnose is tempermental with staples (or screwing down too tight)...it likes to warp if you're hasty with attaching it. All good though, nothing a few taps of a hammer can't cure.
good lookin out!

actually the NO brainer way of doing it would be to buy some resin, pour some into the 90's, tip the box to a 45, let it self-level.....let dry. Done deal. Not as round as a quarter but close enough AND the corners will NEVER EVER leak or come apart.
I like the bullnose idea too if you have any "outside" corners like in a Horn ^^
