Plastic Padding & Chemical Metal aren't too bad.
Depends how much you need.

Just watch the tinned 2 part fillers, the lids often fit "right from
the factory, never thereafter" so they go off relatively quickly.


Can't envisage not having a 2 part filler of some kind in the toolbox.


Small auto tubes can be quite good for general use. There seems to
have been a distinct lack of joinery skills in this country with some
pretty horrible attempts solved by capacious filling... or in the case
of a door frame easier to rip the entire thing out it was simply so
bad with stucco finished filler of *tin sized* quantities *per
hole* :-)

Ebay had a lot of out of date hardener on it last summer, beware oddly
cheap stuff.
