repair of the rotted wood is best first treated with one of two types of rot repair liquids. first is an liquid expoxy and the second is a water based solution that rehardens the wood. Both are available on Amazon at a good price. the water based system is much easier to apply and to clean up. the expoxy is stronger and better at treating really badly rotted wood. after treating the wood, then the bondo can be used to fill any defects and the nail holes in the siding. note there are two different bondo products, one for just wood and the second for all purpose. both work well for filling holes. it is important to understand that the wood rot needs to be "hardened" before filling the defects or the bondo will not stick to the wood. good luck!

Hi Barb,I asked my Tech department and they have some good information for you. First off, this Anchorseal is used to seal the ends of logs to help keep them from cracking and splitting while they dry and before they are milled into boards. As others have already said, it's not a finish itself. If your logs are still "green," at some point they will most likely crack even with the Anchorseal. The only thing they could recommend as a finish is an exterior finish like General Finishes Exterior 450, but they wanted me to warn you that even using that or something like it, the big logs could still crack. Hope that helps! Hi Barb,I asked my Tech department and they have some good information for you.

I think Bondo Glass is to difficult to work into wood. It is dries very hard and hard to sand, you might end up damaging to wood around it.

My friend, this Makita handle's Hardie siding like it was wood. The depth settings make it so you can snug into the Hardie to maintain the Hardie strength. Have sided on lap siding as well as panel Hardie. Excellent nail gun with very few jams. I highly recommend.

I used the Wood Repair because it will harden the existing rotted wood. Wood filler will simply fill the whole and leave the weakened rooted wood as it is.

I think that you would rather have the siding nailer,BOSTITCH N66C-1 1-1/4-inch to 2-1/2-inch Coil Siding Nailer with Aluminum Housing. The siding nailer will put ring shanks into cement siding. The RN46 is a roofing gun, the heads on the nails would be too big.

I have worked on cars all my life.this stuff will stickmto anything but is really hard to sand if you are not used to working with it or don't have the right tools.fiberglass is more water resistant than bondo.i am not a carpenter but why don't you try cutting out the bad wood and piecing in new wood.that is how you fix rusty metal,you cut the bad and weld in new.good luck.

Used primarily to paint exterior Hardi-plank siding with Latex exterior paint. I have had it for about 3 yrs. and have not had a problem. Found the mixture has to be thin for the sprayer to work, around 50% paint to water worked best for my application. Also, with the thin mixture need to use caution and apply with a couple of thin coat. With the heat generated from the motor the nozzle tends to clog up and one needs to clean it regularly for the sprayer to work properly. Found it durable for my application, not sure how it would work with stains, or oil based paints; imagine if the mixture can be diluted to get desired effect then it should hold up?

The Ceramic filler is suitable for exterior tile repairs. The filler is water resistant when sealed with Lacquer Brush Pen that comes in the kit. The filler after applied should sit for 24 hours before putting any outdoor furniture on top for full curing. Thank you

I used my Dewalt finishing nailer. Remember to nail into the wall, not the floor. Leave a small gap between moulding and floor to allow for expansion of the pergo.

This is a nice, easy to use filler, compared to bondo, It depends how much termite damaged the wood is, Don't expect this to have any structural strength like real wood.

This is a great product to stop spliting and checking on log ends. I would use another product like an oil based transparent varnish or polyurethane. If you want the more rustic look from sawmill or chainsaw milling, maybe a deck stain with sealer be best.

Holds screws probably better than wood! Yes it smells and need to apply in 5 minutes. I wouldn't mess around with less hardener especially if you want it to hooks screws.

Gary, I had the same issue against the house. I was using treated pine and I simply "face-screwed" the boards using the Kreg screws, with excellent cosmetic results. You can fill the holes if you like but they are nearly invisible as is. If you are using a composite, the holes would certainly be more visible, but it would require a very close inspection to even notice them. After you use the system and get the hang of it, you will be able to "freestyle" in several challenging position problems. Hope this helps!

I can't say if wood filler alone would do the job or not. I can say I used this for the same purpose and was very happy with the results. I've used wood filler alone one time on a much smaller area and was not as pleased with the results.

a good wood glue like Titebond. I used a waterproof wood glue simply because that is what I had. It helps if you have several bar clamps!

I agree, you have to use both primer & top coat for it to last. Bonder also definitely keeps it in longer too.
