   Lee Valley sells a concoction specificall designed for this purpose.

   I've tried it, but it doesn't really work any better than treating the edges thusly: 1) coat of primer, 2) smear of drywall compound (with your finger), then sanded when dry, and 3) another coat of primer.

   Sand.Prime.Sand.Finish Coat.

   Thinned wood glue makes a good sealing agent if you'd rather not prime.

   This question comes up periodically, and the drywall compound approach seems to win, hands-down.
