Anybody used wood putty to fill fin holes on your wakeskate? Iam gonna do that but just wondering if theres a better compound for the job anybody else has used. I was gonna use the waterproof putty. thanks

when i used to live in orlando and rode a 2.0 it had 4 holes for the lock and i filled them with regular candle wax(taped off the bottom and covered the top then poked a hole through the tape, and the wax never melted leaving in my truck or outside all day.
