A friend suggested I use this goop to fix a board above a window that is not repelling water. I forget the name, but it's supposed to angle the water down. However, it is so cracked that the water goes straight down into the board, which has rotted. I'll try it and see.

I'll evaluate what the material is like to work with, how well and soon it hardens, how it takes paint, and how long it lasts. I'll compare to Durham Rock Hard Water Putty, which I've had good results with. |

Matthew Cornell I did this yesterday, and didn't like working with the stuff. It's toxic (breathe, touch), it mixes with about the same amount of effort (a little easier than putty, actually), and spreads about the same. Also, I worry about future repairs and how much it might pull the wood it's attached to away. Decision: Stick with wood putty. Good experiment!

Matthew Cornell Went back to the water putty - good stuff. Tried a trick someone told me about: Use a wet sponge to smooth the area before it is dry. Looks great. The stuff takes paint a little oddly, but a second coat covers it ok.
