I've used MH Ready Patch for this kind of work for about 20 years now... I
get it at a local independent home center but I've seen it at HD and Lowe's.

For example

It also comes in gallons but I've never needed that much!

Finished dadoing and carving my rails on the table saw. 4 ea. 12 foot long
2x6's. Unfortunately I had to use framing lumber. This is going to be
indoor paint grade railing. Need to fill dents, nicks and saw marks.
Considering Bondo or simply painters caulk applied with a broad knife prior
to sanding. Even thinking of joint compound.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
