Default wood filler

Have some very small gaps in joined wood I would like to fill. (Yeah I know
I need a new joiner) What should I use for a filler?
Wood is walnut and the finish will be tung oil ( no Stain)
Looked at Behlen wood-fil ( water base)and it seems to be the right choice.
If I'm right where can I get some. Catalogs and Woodcrafter don't mention
it.
Is there an alternative brand and should I use water or solvent base?
Thanks in advance

G'day Lee,
I have good results with wax sticks. Usually I put on one coat of
finish, then use the wax stick. I cut very small amounts of the end with
a putty knife and force it into the gap(Hole)then scape of any excess
with the knife. A quick going over with a green scotch pad and it
disappears with the second and subsequent finish coats.

Good luck
regards
John
