Well, I am in the middle of the reno of the hell but one issue at a time:
My current issue is wet rot in the corners of cedar awning windows. I can dig out the spongy bits but then what? I guess I need to kill the fungus with something & then fill it. I vaguely remember someone telling me a while ago that there is a resin which soaks right into the wood & stops the rot. Then I just need to build it back up with a bit of putty? These windows are just being clear-coated rather than painted (never had much trouble with the ones I've painted instead). So i am thinking there will be a putty colour to match.
Has anyone dealt with this successfully & what did you use? I would like as 'permanent' a solution as possible as I plan to keep this house. Thanks
