I surfed through about 50 pages of postings on the Monster

The question is how to get rid of molding seams on latex castings. (needs to be done in the bug parts)
part one is to grind most of it off with a Dremel.

Ready?
Laquer thinner and a terry cloth rag.
You trim down, fast and dirty, your seam - and rub with the direction of your texture. The little nurnies (of terry cloth... I don't know what else to call them!) find their way into the wrinkles and what-not and - POW! Real fast.
