   I googled on that and didn't find any hits. Can you provide some more info?

   I think (hope?) Sphere is yanking your chain. I've used vinyl spackle in the past and liked it, but I generally just use drywall joint compound now because I usually have a tub of it sitting around.

   I thought my chain was being yanked, but you never know. Who would have thought something called Gorilla Glue would be a real thing? Thanks for all the real replies.

   I'm just surprised PETA hasn't raised h*ll with them for making glue out of gorillas...

   excuse Sphere, he has inhaled a little to much Quebic Iridium.

   If you are talking about painting woodwork, there really is no easy way, unless you don't mind the nail holes showing. I usually use a lightweight spackle. it's a matter of learning to apply the least amount needed to make it easier

   I've been using wood filler, if I can see it, I can smooth it.

   Before its painted.

   I use the "One Time" spackle if painting.  It will halo if you are not careful.  I like the Elmer's Wood filler, wet "sand" it with a sponge or rag.  If staining I found the basic same product in tubes in various colors that seems to work well.  I used the "natural"  they have oak and at least one other.

   Try Bondo. Mix it with hardener and it's dry in 20 minutes. And it doesn't shrink. I've even fixed broken moulding with it.

   That Quebic Iridium is highly reactive and spontaneously combusts in the presence of methane.  The stuff also emits a faint green light in a darkened room.  So I don't recommend it in a bathroom even though it makes a nice night light.

   YES to the Elmer's wood putty.  The stuff is the best and easiest to work with!  I love it.

   Depending on the finish level you're going for....  fill and sand is nice, but an adequate job (no complaints from my customers, anyway) can be done using putty, painters or glazing (33) mixed with enough plaster (dry powder) to make the putty stiff enough to shear flush with the hole with a push n' rub with the thumb.... a quick wipe (buff) with a clean rag will clear the halo.

   Fill after prime, then topcoat after fill.

   Stained finishes can be filled with color puttys similarly..... fill after first coat of poly then apply final coat  Color putty's can be mixed to get the look of the stain, or you can add stain pigment to the putty to match extremely close to color.

   If you're going for  cabinet grade finish, then yeah... fill and sand.
