I sometimes use a mix of putty mixed with super glue to give "super"gap filling super glue. you can then use accelerator to instantly cure the super glue without making it iron hard. The putty keeps it much more sandable or carvable. If you experiment with the ratio you can get a mix that is more glue and is harder quicker or more putty that takes longer to set and is sandable even after the super glue "sets" . This mix also allows for good strength of bonding one part to another that putty won't allow.
