I got rotted spots, wood joints, etc, (Englich tudor- 5/4 type wood) and
would like to use a weather-proof filler-type epoxy, ideally with some
mechanical strength (which would proly exclude putties, etc), but I'll
take what I can get, so as not to have to replace whole boards, etc. It
will of course be painted.

I'm going to need at least a few cubic inches of this material. Is there
a generic name for this stuff?

Any suggestions? Hopefully I can get it locally, a HD or sumpn, but
internet is OK.

Is there a kind of hierarchy of exterior fillers, putties, epoxies,
structural epoxies, ito strength?

Abatron makes architectural a wood rot some of which is intended for
outdoor use. A bit on the expensive side but it works very well. Rot
Doctor is another brand but Abatron seems to be the more recommended brand.

Short of that, I have used epoxy thinned with acetone to soak into a
rotted spot with good results although I have not used it for outdoor
problems.

Good Luck.
