Hi pete

theres a few thing that you can use
personally ive never used "Tile cement" but ive heard the same as you

i would recommend a product called epoxy sculpt it's similar to milliput just less messy and a gear wheel of the correct size to apply the finish

if you do go with milliput wrap the stuff in clingfilm and mix the 2 compounds together less messy that way 8O ;)
