yes, the Pattern Plane guys use that to make wing fillets with
micro ballon and lite weight spackle is the same thing. yes, use latex gloves

How to Make Perfect Fitting Wing Saddles for a Model Aircraft
This tutorial will show you a way to achieve
perfect fitting wing saddles. It will not show you how to set up the wing properly.
Prior to performing these steps, the wing should already be
mounted true and
square to the fuselage using wing bolts or rubber bands and dowels.
For years I attempted to fit and sand wing saddles to achieve a perfect fit and was never successful. I could get a perfect fit in both saddles but by that time the wing wouldn't be level.
My solution is to sand the saddle as close to a perfect fit as possible and use small
shims (when necessary) to level the wing. The shims can be 1/4" square pieces of 1/64" plywood or material of suitable thickness.
The shims will not be bearing the load of the wing. All you need to do is strategically place them where they'll keep the wing where it is supposed to be. After the wing is squared, leveled, etc., the wing saddle can be cleaned up into something presentable.
