exterior wood filler

[Jupiter01]

I am painted some wood outdoors and wanted to have a tube of filler to hand, to deal with any imperfections. I've seen some posts recommend the 2-part filler but I think this dries very quickly - once prepared - and probably not suited to my adhoc usage idea. Is there something that you can recommend please?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on the size of the gap to be filled.

Small repairs or holes you can use ronseal wood filler in different colours.
I prefer the gun cartridge because it doesn't dry and it's easier to apply to cover recessed screws and nails.

When I said "it doesn't dry" I meant it doesn't dry easily in the cartridge compared to the one in the pot.

If using 2 part polyester resin filler (read: car filler)- why not just mix a smaller amount. The other 2 part class of filler is epoxy resin. It is normally supplied in a double barreled gun.

If you are only looking at very, very minor surface imperfections, I would probably recommend Red Devil Onetime. It is incredibly soft, meaning that when you sand it, you won't damage the surrounding paint. I would sand it with 180 grit silicon carbide paper. It will however need to be primed with waterbased paint. Ideally, you would prime it before it rains.

Alternatively, if the imperfections are so slight, sand them out.

Photos would help.

Best of luck
