??? You mean joint compound? The white chalk stuff?
Is this hard to make smooth?
Thanks for the quick response.

Now I'm not talking about the stuff that Wal Mart sells for patching nail holes. I'm talking joint compound like you use when taping drywall joints. I use the pre-mixed stuff.
I don't necessarily think it is good for major patching, but it is great for rubbing over the little spots like I mentioned above. It's easy to sand, takes paint similar to MDF, and CHEAP! It does require primer, just like any other good patch material, to completely disappear in the paint job.

Elmers makes some wood putty in a squeezable tube I've used on mdf before.  Was invisible once sanded and painted.  Found it at lowes for a couple bucks.  Kinda gritty, sands really easily.
