Bondo body filler is a sponge. *OK for properly treated

I'm partial to
1. replace the wood

I've used it on a 50 yr old wooden boat- and a similar vintage garage

Rot doctor is nothing but a very over priced, over hyped, thinned down
epoxy. You can accomplish the same results by mixing regular epoxy
and then thinning it with 10% of it's volume in alcohol. I get the
best epoxy prices from http://www.uscomposites.com/ and you can get
quarts of alcohol at lowes. Epxoy is naturally flexible. Rot doctor
doesn't formulate epoxy, nor does uscomposites or west marine or any
of them. Big chemical companies like Dupont make epoxy, all these
others are just resalers. Shop for price, not advertising bs.
