Hi,

Other than Bondo, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can
use to fill in a small amount of rotted wood (after cleaning out the bad
section) in
a wooden patio door frame ?

Would like it to be relatively easy to use, good for outddors of course, and
to set up totally hard so I can sand and paint over it.

Thanks,
Bob

Last time I did this, I found at least two products at the hardware store,
labeled as "exterior patching compound". If I recall, one was made by DAP,
as you'd probably expect, since their name's on so many other products. Head
to the hardware store.

Minwax used to make 2 part patch/hardener.

I found my 'exterior' wood puddy, is weak. It swells when exposed to
moisture(rain, dew, etc). So I had to get it quickly covered with a
couple layers of paint. Might want to look for an epoxy based puddy,
like bondo , so it's truely exterior grade. imho.

You keep using the word "puddy" which is not in Funk & Wagnalls.

"Putty" is. Ain't spell-checkers wonderful?
