What would be the best way for me to fill in button holes in this situation?
Beretta:
hmm thats pretty small, sound like great stuff, thanks for hte advice..
btw whats a good place to get it? i dont suppose wally world sells it do they?

They should have Bondo at Wally World, in the automotive section. Otherwise, most hardware stores would have it, automotive repair shops and places like that. A small can should be around 10$.
In Canada, we get it at Canadian Tire.
Its a putty, you can pretty much puch it into most any cracks, then use a spatula to remove excess.
Let it set, it hardens rather fast but for best result wait a bit before sanding.

Hmmm, sounds like I should probably pick up some bondo next time I'm at Canadian Tire then. I've heard a lot of people on this forum talk about fixing up the wood on their cabs with wood putty or bondo and I always just kinda assumed they were the same thing.

Actually, I did find the wood putty a bit difficult to work with when filling in all the chipped out wood in my cab - thought I was just clumsy/doing it wrong or whatever, but maybe it's not the greatest stuff to use then. Since I'm gonna be buying bondo and repainting my cab anyway, I might even dig out the wood putty and use bondo instead - I really didn't get the putty to smooth out quite as much as I'd like.
Marsupial:
no matter what you use, you need to sand it afterward.
You start low grit (50?) but climb up to when you are satisfied.
And take pics of the process, its always fun to have pictures!

Bondo for sure. Thats what I use at my arcade i work for to fix stuff like that. When our games all first arrived, our Smokin Token unit was beat up from shipping. one of the bottom corners had been totally busted apart. So we went over to ACE hardware and got a tub of bondo and some white spray paint. few hours later it looked good as new and even now, 10 months later, you can't tell anything was ever wrong with that front corner
