Mix used (wet) coffeegrounds with acrylic paint or medium into a thick spackle and dab it in in several small increments. Sort of like grog in clay ( http://pottery.about.com/od/potterygloassary/g/grog.htm ) , the coffee grounds limit the shrinkage areas to the acrylic matrix, resulting in little or no distortion, and minimal added weight.
