   Use something appropriate for the material with the nail hole.

   Drywall? Spackle

   Wood? Wood filler. Wood will puke spackle out over time if you have a lot of humidity

   I use Dap products for painted fill, but do put it on proud of the surface and sand later.  On occasion have mixed up some Durabond, dries hard-sandable-doesn't shrink much.  Used a product from Elmers-can't remember if I liked it-it froze up on a lazy night I didn't bring in the caulk bag.

   Have some WoodFiller from Minwax that I thought worked ok.

   One of the painters uses something I'd never seen b/4.  Looked like glazing in the can, but does harden and sand.  I should have written the name down.  It's from his paint supplier I would guess.

   At any rate, most of the painters I use want to do the filling and do a good job of it. 

   To me, there's no difference in high and regular-perfect will be close enough for the job. 

   Well, there is some difference...............

   Durabond is a pretty good idea..I saw something like that..it was called tough something at lowes..it was a powder that u mix up...and as for that glazing your sayin I think there is something called glazing putty in a red can..never used it tho...I guess ill just have to actually test out the products and see for myself

   The glazing putty is just that-Glazing.

   It will never harden (much) and has some oil in it I believe-not good if you're topcoating with latex (I don't think).

   The stuff I saw, looked like glazing in the can (more smooth in consistancy, but did harden like spackle.

   There's something that's used with Azek-Top and Bond or Top'n'bond, that might work good.  Never saw it, never used it.
