How does the filler stay attached to the drum when the outward force of spinning on the drum would rather throw it off? There would be very little holding it to the drum. Or does a wood filler contain a glue like component to it?

If I made a paste of wood glue and saw dust, that should work, right? And there would be no chance of it fracturing there and being expelled...

Cause yeah. The last few low spots are going to take forever to come out. I'll go through another pack or two of sandpaper before they're gone. Ugg.
