Default Epoxy repair/filler for exterior wood.

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?

Sure fix: Abatron Wood Epox & Liquid Wood
Cheap fix: Bondo

I've used both Bondo & Abatron...... 25 years ago.

Redwood window sills....Bondo failed in a couple seasons, Abatron
still sound.
Your choice.
