Bondo as used in auto body repair works quite well and is commonly

Before you do that- take some yellow pine, weigh it, take a chunk of
bondo and weigh it. *Put both in water for a while & see how much more
water the bondo holds than the wood.
Auto-body bondo is not for wood. *Bondo *does* make *a wood repair

"For Rotted Wood Problems, Use After Applying Rotted Wood Stabilizer."

Bondo doesnt absorbe water its plastic, their 'wood' line is just
bondo, I used it this summer and compared it to regular bondo which is
alot cheaper.
Bondo absorbs moisture very easily. It is like a hard, open cell,
sponge. Very porous.- Hide quoted text -

Bondo is solid, hard as a rock with no cells visable, if it absorbed
moisture it would rot your cars steel from holding moisture, you must
be thinking of something else like foam.
