Default Patching window frame with car body filler

Dig out all the rotten wood back to some reasonably solid stuff, then
let it dry out and paint it very liberally with Ronseal wet rot wood
hardener. When that's dried, use the car body filler. Ronseal do a
wood filler, but it's just a resin that goes off with a peroxide
curing agent, much like body filler. Perhaps just a different colour
depending on the filler used in them.

See http://tinyurl.com/mktqunz. I have no connection with Ronseal BTW.

I bodged the bottom of a couple of window 3 years ago using Ronseal wet
rot wood hardener and then filled the hole with a car body filler (paste
+ catalyst). I'm currently stripping paint from the windowsills prior to
getting some double glazing fitted and the bodged repair is still in
very good condition.
