Serious question, has anyone else had issues with that new 'quick set' acrylic filler?

I bought a tube for a quick patch job on a quarter crack last week, cost me about 35 bucks. It set up way too fast, maybe 90 seconds, and I couldn't get a smooth finish at all. Ended up having to pull it all off and start over with my regular stuff, wasted over an hour of my morning. What do you all use for a reliable, workable filler?

That stuff is meant for tiny nail holes, not a quarter crack. The tube actually says "for nail and screw holes only" in the fine print. For a crack that size, you need a slower setting two part filler like Bondo or a wood epoxy.

I used to think it was fine for bigger jobs too!
