Default repairing pitted siding

Hi,
I have some rotting baseboard exterior siding that was damaged by a
powerwasher. Before painting it, I am going to fill in to make it
smooth. What's the best stuff to use. I was watching youtube, where
people are recommending an epoxy filler for the exterior. The epoxy
is pricey. I was giving thought to using plaster. Plaster gives you
a nice smooth workable surface.
Does this work? Has anyone else tried it?
Replacing the wood is a lot of work, requires two people and some
scaffolding especially 15 feet off the ground.


There is a reason they used epoxy and not plaster. You can do it cheap or
you can do it right. Plaster will be gone in a year, maybe less.
