Acrylic should be OK. Probably too late now, but you can get hot glue sticks in many colors including dark brown similar to the original wax.

I use a dark brown hot glue to hold the new capacitor inside the old shell. It looks very close to the original wax, but to get it to look even better I actually save the wax that I removed from the old cap. I fill the brown glue almost up to the top of the cap and then melt some original wax to "top it off" at the end. Using this method makes the re-stuffed cap look so good that I have to mark the caps I've replaced because I can't tell them apart.
