Plywood manufacturers fill in voids on the outer surface with some kind of filler that
dries to a kind of cream color. Does anyone know what this is and where I can get
some? I have a bunch of outer voids to fill and I want something that won’t shrink
and be hard enough to drill, nail, etc. Any thoughts?

Looks like Durham's to me, but I can't imagine they wait for it to set before sanding.

If mixed with hot water it sets almost faster than you can scoop and spread, so I can imagine a factory enviroment where a dispenser mixes as needed with warm water and by the time the sheet moves to the next station for sanding it would be hard enough. Plywood is made with warm glue and the pressure applied to force the veneers together creates it's own heat, so the material is quite warm to begin with.'couirse it could also be a proprietary product similar to, but for retail, Durham's is it, unless it weill be in a very wet environmet
