You can get one of the bondos (I think marine) for about $4 from amazon.

Really? I got my spot putty from there. Did you check the automotive section?

Car stores are pretty keen to hold them. The Spot Putty Triton and I use come in a tube and you squeeze it out a bit. Just go to say a Strauss and go to the spray paint aisle and you should find it. Get the plain one, no UV crap, it really looks bad. :P

car bondo works fine and you can find bondo at just about any auto parts store even the marine junk, I advise some fiber reenforced bondo or on the cheaper side try a brand called Duraglass body filler (psst its just the same stuff as marine bondo and cheaper) and as for just body filler try other brands like goldy or off name body fillers. and again, looking for body filler try auto parts stores or paint supply places. if they don't have it they can tell you who does, wal-mart has small sized kits in their auto section
