I've thought of thin plastic strips, paper strips, or even the reinforcing threads peeled from duct tape (self-adhering). Thanks in advance.
My recommendation would be to take a scribe and run it down the seam line to a desired depth to lay in a strip or rod of a matching diameter of the other raised lines. Then cut a strip or rod (Evergreen/Plastruct) to your desired length and drop it into the scribed trough. Lightly sand the strip or rod to the look you want to achieve. You may need to use some filler of your choice. I hope this helps.
