Can regular wood filler be used a 'modeling putty"? Don't see why not. Looked at hobby lobby, michaels and they don't seem to really have any section.
It depends on what material you will use it. For wood crack filling yes, wood putty will be great. One of my best ones is Elmer's carpenters wood filler. It comes in many different kinds, for various jobs as required. Dry fast, sands really smooth, didn't crack over time and it is stainable!Can regular wood filler be used a 'modeling putty"?

I like to wet sand! Hence solvent......;-)I'm not sure if solvent based is necessary. I've been using Timber Mate and really like it. No sign of checking, shrinking or cracking, even on a stalled project that has gone from New Mexico to California to Rhode Island and back again over a couple of years.
