wonderful.  Stainable, sandable, and non-shrinking.  It also works great just
as a glue.

As I mentioned I do like Webb Phillips Wood Rebuilder for single fill case
repairs, precisely because it is fast setting. However, it is usually not
convenient for filling the sides of keys if you have very many to do, because of
the short pot life. You have to continually mix small batches, so there's a lot
of waste. With epoxy you can repair a whole keyboard with one or two batches of
half-hour epoxy.

The Wood Rebuilder is very convenient for two or three keys though. It's also
great stuff for rebuilding chipped carved areas on legs. You can apply it, then
sculpt it to shape when it's partially cured to the consistency of hard cheese.
