I am thinking that this is hte best option.  ANyone else use this?  I want to use it for filling in holes from countersinks.

Everyone should really be using bondo for this type of stuff.  It sands easy but is rock hard.  There's really no reason to use anything else, IMO.

 :dunno

Bondo requires mixing and then cleaning tools.  If you use a putty product (especially a premixed one), things go much quicker for a small job.  If you are doing more than a spot or two, it's probably better to just use the good stuff.

I used a wood filler product that I got from Depot that has worked ok.  It won't create a structural fix though, so when I run out, I'll get bondo.

I use toothpicks to mix and posterboard to apply and then I throw it all out!  Works great and no clean-up.   :cheers:

You don't have to mix a large batch?  I thought that the package only gave mixing directions for 1+ cups of bondo.  I guess you could just eyeball it since this isn't structural stuff anyway.
