Elmers carpenter's wood filler, dries hard ,shrink free. Comes in a plastic
tube and is paintable in a few hours. Painter putty remains soft.

Anyone have a trick product for filling nails holes on something that
is to be painted? I've used glazing putty in the past and the results
are good but the stuff is a mess to work with and dries up. In a
moment of desperation I tried Play-Doh (glazing putty was dried up),
went in easy and cleanup was a snap but it shrinks too much.

Anyone ever try plumbers putty?
