Palm Swell Material

Whats a good material for creating a palm swell. This would be on a regular stock.

First attempt was w/fiberglass cloth and resin. Second attempt is with Crayola Molding Compound. Sweet to create the shape but, slow to cure, shrinks and does not stick.

Any tho'ts?

Thanks

Well, it sure wouldn't look purty, but auto body filler would do a good job- stuff dries in a few minutes.
Bondo is the brand name I know of, but any of 'em will do. Any auto parts store should carry some.

Ended up using the following:

Resin/hardner (bondo type stuff) with fiber glass cloth (not good), Quick Steel (Very Good) and JB Weld stuff that's similar to Quick Steel (Better than Quick Steel for finishing)
