I like to use water-thinned Elmer's Wood Filler (a k a Fill 'N Finish) to fill spirals and other patch jobs on tubes, but I don't care for using it on wood, especially nose cones. So I basically agree with gh. Minwax also makes a product that looks similar to Plastic Wood, but I haven't tried it. Elmer's makes other wood filler products that are packaged in squeeze tubes. These do not seem to be the same thing as FNF. (I cannot imagine what it would take to squeeze FNF out of a plastic tube. The stuff in the tub has the consistency of a damp block of chalk.) Elmer's makes a variety of wood fillers; some are very tough after they cure. That may be more than what you need, though. A rock-hard filler may not be necessary for an object that will subsequently be coated with polyurethane or Polycrylic and then used as a mold master.
