are you thinking of body filler (bondo) or epoxy (glue)?

Bondo brand is the most famous and popular. It works OK.

I've also used NAPA brand body filler from NAPA Auto Parts. It works OK.

Tips:
1. Put it on thin. If you have to put two or three applications, better than one thick
2. Use a Stanley Surform cutter/sander, and sand it as soon as the instructions for the filler allow
3. Don't let it set for hours, then try to sand it off when it is hard

If you want a good body filler try Evercoat Rage or there lightweight filler with a metal glaze on top of that - the stuff works pretty good.
