Epoxy is tough, but also the heaviest possible method.

Right now I'm doing watered down Elmo's wood filler.
I've done the sticky paper and glued edges. Good results. I scored a bottle of AeroGloss Dope Sanding Sealer a few years ago. I crack it open and take a whiff and it brings me back to my teens building balsa model airplanes. BTW, you can make your own sanding sealer like AeroGloss. Nail polish and baby power. A 90/10 mix. Give or take a few.

Clear Nail Polish is nitrocellulose "Nitrate" dope.
While it will work in a pinch to make Balsa Fillercoat when mixed with Talcum, Clear Butyrate dope for the base is better. I don't know of a way to make home-broo Sanding Sealer, which is a mixture of "plasticizers" dissolved in Butyrate Thinner.
