I use Famowood putty because I have it in the cabinet shop. It is solvent based and dries fast. I don't know if sealer makes it waterproof but it does the job. I also use plumbers epoxy but you say it adds weight.

I use the plumers putty on prototypes... it only adds 1 gram of weight for a 5/16 hole or Buckshot size piece.. most times it's less than that because it is just covering.. so unless the plug is extremly finnicky it's not a big deal... and the plumers putty will seal wet surfaces and dries in 5 minutes.. the stuff I use needs 8 hours to harden..
