[QUOTE="1lhorn, post: 381284, member: 15371"] The exterior grade plywood that I bought to redo my floors has some defects that I'd like to fill in since I think they might otherwise show through after the Nautolex goes down. The MariDeck youtube video recommends that joint compound can be used (sparingly). I'm not sure I can think of a less water resistant method of filling in the knot holes etc. I suppose under Nautolex and covered with epoxy it should be Ok but I just wanted to see if there were any other ideas. My dad thought about mixing a copious amount of sawdust with epoxy into a putty or mud like consistency and using that. Bondo also makes a product called "wood filler." It sounds like it would hold up better to walking on than joint compound. Can be painted and says it's water resistant. I'd cover it with epoxy any way. This seems like it might be the way to go. It's inexpensive (relatively), dries fast, can be painted over, sanded, is water resistant and is more "structural" than joint compound. Any other ideas? [/QUOTE]
