Zinseer ready patch. water base, sand easy. on deep hole you need to do another coat because of shrinkage. Normal fill ins is OK. Personally thats the most PITA in doing plugs. Filling, waiting then sanding smooth also w/o trying to sand into softwood. At one time I tried to drill my weight holes b/4 turning and pouring lead into hole. Turn to dimention and it a done deal. Problem was the lead slugs would fly out occassionally and your wood had to be planed to perfection to get the same depth of hole in order to have the consistent weight throughout the plug batch. On the lead fying out I also drilled and sent a thread tap in hole to groove threads for the lead to grab. It worked but I think the effort wasn't worth savings.
