Re: filler material for tuning?

Wax is probably the best substance to use as it can be shaped, added to or removed easily (although beeswax can be sticky). A much harder wax with a higher melting tempreature is better - the kind used on buffing wheels by cobblers.

With tuning, you want something that sets instantly instead of remaining liquid - so hard wax is probably the best stuff to use as you can check and alter it immediately after it's cooled down enough.
