John, that could be nice stuff. I always have some little dents around rosettes and bindings. Till now I fill them with thin CA. This glue could be more gelly.
Their accelerator on the other hand claims to cause no bubbles! tempting. Mine does accelerate a bit too strong and makes the glue cook!

I use gluboost and it is a great product (a little expensive). The accelerator does not bubble the glue. I haven't used their gel yet. I have 2 thicknesses of Ca and their Finishing glue.
I've "Ben-Had" again!

It won't stay that way after the finish is applied if you sand it fine enough (220, 320)

Thanks a Tim, that’s the answer I was hoping for.
