Here you go.  This stuff is sand-able after it dries, and you can wipe it off before it dries.  Works well.  I use it for filling and gluing.

RC people have used this for years.

I've been using white glue for this purpose for years.  I thought everyone knew about it.  I also use it to simulate small rivets on armor.  I just a pin drop size on the spot.  I let the white glue set up a little bit before applying. I mostly use it on wing joints, but not too much as it will shrink some.  Just one more little tool to use.

TOTALLY NEW IDEA FOR FILLER ?
Posted by tankerbuilder on Thursday, May 2, 2013 1:31 PM

I've noticed that everyone is always looking for that " perfect " filler to use on models  Hmm.As you know I posted an article about the REVELL " GTS-FINNJET " Well , I had a problem .After installing the sides of the upperworks with it's 567 windows (yup , Counted them by accident  after painting them with a sharpie !  Embarrassed) I noticed that where the upper-work sides didn't meet the hull evenly . Boo HooBoo Hoo

   After painting all those dad blamed windows , I wasn't about to obliterate a whole row with sanding . I was trying to figure it out when a light bulb went off   Idea  (rare in these very old grey cells ) Stick out tongue I happened to set my gaze on my BIG bottle of ALEENS craft glue (white glue to the uninitiated Huh?). Now after four thin layers I have a sleek side look to the ship .If you look at it on the boxcover it is smooth and slab sided all the way up to the boat deck ! Confused. Although an ungainly looking ship  Surprise, In model form , although 1/400 scale ,  she doesn't look bad . Now , if you haven't done this before here's a new one .If you have ,why didn't you tell us ? Whisper LOL. LOL . Anyway , I wanted to share this emergency filler idea with you . Thanks for Your time   Tanker-builder     I think the A/C guys know about this .
