If you wanted to blend two wood surfaces which are joined at right-angles so that you finish up with a radiused joint line (i.e. there is a smooth fillet of filler along it), what would you guys use?
I thought I'd be OK using Milliput, but however much I work it according to the instructions, I don't seem to get on with it.
What else is there that easily shaped/smoothed when being applied and can be sanded once it's gone off?

You could simply try one of the many other epoxy putties on the market. They come as cylinders and you just cut off a slice and knead it to mix the two parts. They can be smoothed off with a wet finger before they set.

Try a few drops of cellulose thinners to your Milliput to make it more workable. Use an east sand car body repair filler as Stav says.

The Tasmanian Devil has an interesting idea:
...... "time to seal the front deck, I'm sure everyone has their preferred methods of doing this but I will explain the way I like to do it, as it's wood to fibreglass once again I use epoxy but I mix it with talcum powder until it's like peanut butter."
