Default Wood Bondo?

Several years ago, a repair guy took care of a small area of rotted wood on

Thanks in advance . . .


It may have been.

Several package it marketed for wood w/ tan/brown catalyst instead of
the typical blue/green for automotive -- Minwax brand is one usually
readily available. (It doesn't indicate what it is on the label, but
when I last checked it shared MSDS data w/ the Bondo-products which is
pretty much a clue... ).

If you do use an automotive filler (much cheaper, generally), choose
one w/o the fiberglass as it may tend to "fluff" more and leave a
raised grain effect that's more effort to eliminate.
