Don't mind that name--that's just what I'm calling the stuff. The
stuff being what a guy would want to use to fix a rotted window frame.

I've seen this stuff, both on the tube and in the flesh: a putty that
dries hard and white, and is perfect for the repair I need to do. I
have a window sash with a rotted-out corner, maybe 3-4" of wood gone
completely. My plan is to clean out all the rot, embed some metal in
the corner and use this stuff to rebuild the frame. Even thinking of
making a small silicone mold for the window-stop profile to replicate
it.

Anyone know what this stuff is, and where to get it? I'm pretty sure
it's some kind of epoxy with fillers added. Probably not cheap, either.


This company makes good stuff:

Not the stuff I was thinking of.

I've used PC-Woody; in fact, I have a couple of cans of it now. It seems
pretty strong, but this other stuff I've seen seems even better.

Have you (or anyone else here) used PC-Woody to repair large missing
pieces in wood?


PC-Woody is as strong/stronger than wood and you can work it just like
wood. How would something else be "better"?
