fixing chips, empty screwholes and blemishes

I read on a thread that white out works really well on chips and dings. My electrician did a poor job of centering my in cabinet lights in my glass lindingo cabinets. One was 1" off and I had to move it. So theres a dark screwhole staring down at me which is really close to the light. Do you think white out would work good in this application? I have noticed that the insides of the cabinets are a little bit of a cream color. Does the white out work good for the white cover panels and lindingo doors or is there something better?

White paintable caulk is a good filler for white woodwork in general, though I have not tried it personally on Lidi. Anyone else??

Re: fixing chips, empty screwholes and blemishes

Ryan - I answered your PM, though Kelly is right about the caulk. Latex works inside the cabinet, and GE II white silicone (which is NOT paintable) will be pretty good with the doors and panels.

The color is a good match, and it has a glossier finish than WhiteOut or latex caulk, though it has a certain "fly paper" quality to it, so you have to be careful using it.
