My house is 20 yrs old, in the Central Valley of N. Calif. I've got a
couple fascia boards (2X6 fir) that are showing age: the ends have
split a bit and look a bit ragged. There isn't' any major rot or
deterioration yet.

I plan to srape the paint off, sand smooth, fill the gaps and roughs
spots, prime and re-paint.

Q: What is the best exterior wood filler for this use?

Thanks a heap

Bondo works very well in this application.

one word answer: BONDO, same stuff for car repair but much less money,
permanent, weatherproof, no shrinking, sands, paintable and CHEAPER than
all the rest. been using it for 35 yers in old home restoration work! even
on rotted window sills

Bondo or maybe DAP plastic Wood. Don't use anything water based!
