My no fear has some nasty shooter lane wear, which sometimes interferes with ball launch. I've decided to take the plunge and fix the wear and install the appropriate Cliffy.

What kind of wood epoxy should I use? (that's what I'm supposed to use, right?)
Locally, I can get DAP, Minwax, and Elmers brand wood fillers - are any of those good, or should I go mail-order?

What's the recommended guide to doing that repair?

Quik Wood - I'll try to scare up some of that.

At what point in the process do you use the putty? do you sand out the clear first, or use the putty, then sand out the clear and putty?

Varathane - that going to be available locally, or is that something I'll have to order?

Sandpaper - Easy.

Plunger handle - Easy.

Local Home Despot only carries Minwax brand polyurethane spray - I assume that's not sufficient?

Quoted from Cliffy:

Quik Wood epoxy putty stick. Best stuff for wood EVER. Clean the wood well with magic eraser and 70% rubbing alcohol first.

Here's a link to a Cactus Canyon shooter lane I restored for a buddy (actually I restored the entire playfield but this is just the shooter portion) I didn't have to use epoxy but it will show what you need to do after that

When you spray it with the new clear, and you're only doing it on the shooter lane (rest of the PF is beautiful_ - no idea why the shooter lane is in such lousy condition), how do you blend the newly clear-coated shooter lane with the rest of the PF, without there being a noticeable boundary?
