I have to fill some rotted areas in the exterior frame of some windows. I
already have some latex exterior putty which I can build up in layers. The
areas in question are about as wide as a pencil and maybe twice that deep.
I've heard that some people use Bondo for these situations. Is there a
good
reason to prefer that product?


Bondo is essentially a "rubber" putty, cures faster and hardens better
than a latex putty. Resists water and takes well to paints.

I've seen Bondo used on a couple of doors.

bondo is talc added to putty, and isn't resistent to water unless it's
covered with something. it will be harder than a latex putty.


I know Bondo resist staining. The wood sucks up the stain first. Paint
is the best cover up.
