Once rot has got a hold anything like this is just a stopgap. The only

Body filler has lasted over 20 years on my sills.


Oh it won't rot. It's the wood around it that does.


Depends how thorough you are in the first place. With a former/release
agent you can virtually re-cast the sill with a nice straight edge. The
key is in the price of the stuff. At trade prices you don't need to
think about the amount you're using
