Dry wall compound or spackle should work. Plaster of Paris is a breeze to mix, though.

I use the spackle all the time too. Great stuff. Don't have to worry about mixing the right amount of water to the Plaster of Paris and getting it too wet/watery either.

Big fan of spackle too, I like the new stuff that changes color (from violet to white) to let you know when it's dry enough to sand.
