Default Epoxy repair/filler for exterior wood.

Awl --

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?


Appreciate all the tips, ideas. Shore beats the putty that assholes have
been using on my house.
In the case of the planking in an englich tudor, the cost/trickiness of a
good epoxy job seems to lower the barrier a bit, to actually replacing the
wood itself, which of course is a pita, but not a hyooge pita.
