How do you prep the end-grain of plywood
so you can't see the it after painting?

Besides sanding what filler should I use?

Thanks for your help.

I should think it would be easier to use wood tape (veneer tape) for the
edge then paint.  That would give you a smooth, wood edge.  Else, you
could you a wood patch (or even plaster) depending on what you are
building.  

What are you building?

Sanding won't do anything except maybe remove the saw marks.  You can fill the 
voids with any wood filler, but don't expect it to be invisible.  You can fill 
and sand and fill and sand, but it still won't look like wood, and it won't 
paint like wood, either.  The end grain, long grain, and filler all absorb 
differently.

Most people run solid wood edging along plywood edges.
