It might, but I prefer a fast setting epoxy. This provides bulk to fill in empty spaces and can be smoothed with a wet finger to make it look nice.

Good Luck.

I also like to use epoxy. Be carefull theres lots that turn white. Make sure it says drys clear.I like to stain mine so you don't want white joints.

Other than actually getting a turkey, how do you prepare the wing bones to make them into useable call material?

I use Dap All-Purpose Construction Adhesive. It's a white silicone type adhesive that dries fairly quick and gets hard.

I scrape all the meat off the bones with a knife, cut the ends off with a Dremel, use a wire to clean the marrow out of the small bones, then boil in an old kettle with water mixed with bleach. Don't boil too long or they get chalky.

The big bone will have some tiny connecting spiderweb type stuff in it that needs to be ground out or broken with a fine blade knife.
