I used the stuff for years. I mixed it with either epoxy or polyester resin when I was building model boats. Think of it like baking soda that you would add to the glue to thicken it up. What do you have against auto body filler? Might be easier on an ABS body rather than mixing the glue and then trying to sand it down.

I've had some filler / seam sealer stuff at the shop that said stuff about "micro baloons" on the packaging -- Seemed to work just like the "standard" fillers to me.
