Hi,
It looks like "Ready mix" has paid you a visit Joe.
I'm watching this with interest because worm holes look easy enough to fill but from my recent experience with my Ekco T311 the actual flight hole only tells part of the story. It's what is behind the hole that is the trouble and it can be a huge void leaving the thinnest of skins that look OK at first when filled but the filler has very little surface to adhere to.
Filler also tends to sand at different rates to wood or veneer it being much harder so a backing block I think would be a necessity otherwise the dots of filler would possibly tend to stand proud of the surrounding surface; not a lot but once finish is applied they would quickly show their presence.
Good luck Joe and here is a couple of pictures of what I found when I stripped the T311.
Kind regards, Col.
