Hi,

Have a piece of our patio door (a wooden section) that has a bit of rot in
it.

But 99 % of the door is just fine.

Thought I could scrape out the bad part and "fill" it in with something,
and re-paint the area.

i remember from years ago there was a product called Plastic-Wood.

I imagine by now there are lots of "better" wood fillers available for
exterior use.

Anybody able to recommend any (remember, it has to be for exterior, and
set-up hard) ?

BTW: Any with epoxy in them as a component ?

Thanks,
Bob

I believe that it's MinWax who makes a two-step process. After tearing out
the rot and finding the cause per hallerb the first step is a liquid
'hardener'. I don't know what it is but it peneterates and hardens pretty
quickly. After that comes the two-part Bondo type filler. It even smells
like good old Bondo. It works easily and has stayed in place for 4 years on
the bottom of a steel faced door. The bottom wooden stile had been eaten
away by carpenter ants.
