Yes, I'm wierd.
So, after that thread hijack ...
... sanding! Got into it today. Following Andy's advice (from Wudtone), I restricted myself to a going over with 240 grit, and I'll do some 0000 steel wool as well, probably tomorrow.
There were three patches of fill in the surface of the body (actually on the sides, not on the top or back), which others have remarked doesn't take the Wudtone. One was roundish, the other was actually a little wiggly strip on the bottom edge, and each was no bigger than a 5-10c coin in total; the third one was right on the edge of the jack-plug hole. I was unsure about removing and replacing the edge of a hole, in that I might not be able to shape the replacement fill properly or compact it sufficiently to securely take the screws for the jack plate. Given it will be covered by the jack plate I decided to leave that patch alone, but I did set about sorting out the other two.
I discovered that trying to sand it off actually makes it disintegrate around the edge of the patch, and you end up dragging hard little grains of the stuff across the surface, which make nasty grooves in the surrounding surface, which then need sanding out too. I tried backing off to a 40 grit, to just tough it out, but that had pretty much the same effect as 240 grit, but made a bigger mess. Seeing as I already had a mess on my hands I decided to take a deep breath, pull out the bastard rasp file and see how deep the fill went. Thankfully it was only about a mil deep, so I was able to remove the fill completely and make a neat surface with the file, and then bring the surface back to smooth with sandpaper. I'm really happy that none of the visible surface on the finished product will be fill!
