My solution for outside is to always use an epoxy-based product (Bondo

and professional solution.

Could you suggest such an epoxy-based product? I have an oak doorsill
that shouldn't have been termite infested, but it was. I scraped out
all the crud that
I could, and drowned it in termite killer. Been years, and I have
not yet
repaired the damage and stained the area (assuming it will take a
stain).
Have been monitoring the pro- and anti-Bondo discussions with growing
confusion.


West Systems at this page: http://www.westsystem.com/ss/

is the epoxy product that I used. It turns soft wood into petrified wood in
about an hour.

Multiple coats may be required. Then I used Bondo to fill the holes.

After the spring thaw grin I will go take some pictures of the project I
did 7-8 years ago and see how it is holding up
