Second, find yourself someone near you who does woodworking.

What you want is a a bunch of fine sawdust from a semi-dense hardwood. Adler (what most strat's are made of) would be ideal, but any wood of similar density will work.

Mix yourself up a bunch of 2 part epoxy. You can buy it at most hardwar estores. Tell them you're filling in a broken up piece of wood and you'll get the right stuff. While you're there, go by the wall area and get yourself a little metal putty knife.

Mix the epoxy together in a big container you don't care about. Toss in your sawdust and mix it up till it's the consistency of oatmeal cookie dough. Really thick!

Use your putty knife and lay it into wherever you need to build up.

Get it a little bit more than the final thickness, but try and keep it smooth and not too much extra. Epoxy doesn't shrink when it dries.

When it dries, sand it smooth.
