I just bought and used some Durham's Water Putty for the first time. This stuff
is very neat. The first time I mixed it, I put too much water. Since I was
playing with it, I didn't want to use a lot of powder to get the consistency
perfect.

Because it was thinner than it should be (although it was usable), I painted the
edge of a piece of plywood with it. After it dried, I sanded the edge. It
doesn't look like plywood anymore. There's a good chance I'm going to do the
same thing on some plywood shelves that I'm going to paint and install this weekend.
According to the directions and the video, it's not designed to be
spread thin--but the "rough texture" of the edge of the plywood may be
in your favor.

It might be interesting to perform a "durability test", before you
invest a lot.

It appears CW already mostly-answered my question:

CW: Durham's water putty. It is quite a bit like plaster but sets up
harder.

It is quite a bit how ever you mix it, plaster, putty, slush...
Properly mixed, a lot like Timbermate.




Here is a link to a nice little video about Durhams Water Putty in case anyone
wants to watch it.
