Repair Wood To Take:
Drill your repair wood to take rustless (zinc) screws, which you should countersink about Xin (6mm) below the surface. Once you have drilled the repair wood, apply a liberal coating of waterproof wood glue - not forgetting the drilled holes - then screw the piece into place. Fill the screw holes with a two-part wood filler and leave it to harden.icing wood If the damaged area is greater than is practicable cut out and replace the damaged wood. Remove all the ed wood and shape the surrounding area so you can match it new wood. Apply wood hardener to any remaining soft fibers. ;at exposed wood with a clear wood preservative and, if you lanning to paint, use pretreated wood to fill the hole. Other-treat your shaped piece with clear wood preservative before 3 it in place. It is best to cut the repair piece slightly too high so you can plane or sand it flush with the surrounding wood.
Finishing off When the glue has set, smooth any projecting wood with sandpaper until it is flush with the surrounding areas. Unless you have been very accurate, you may find slight gaps in places between old and new wood. If so, fill the gaps with wood repair paste, allow it to set, and then smooth it back with sandpaper. You could use a wood stopping for this filling work, but if you do, besure it is a weatherproof grade. Always use the correct mix: never use interior fillers for exterior repairs.
