[QUOTE="duckfish, post: 381310, member: 17136"] I definitely need to find this Rockhard product. Woodpeckers are making swiss cheese out of my cedar siding. Never had a problem till the %$#& stinkbug invasion began about 5 years ago. To the OP, sawdust in your 2 part epoxy will certainly work. I use it for wood boat building projects. The added benefit is you already have the epoxy and you know there won't be any bonding issues with your epoxy sealing and the filler. It works best if you use very fine saw dust. I keep a container filled with what is captured in my belt sander dust bag. If you don't have that available just steal your wife's flour sifter and keep the finer stuff from sifting (just don't let her catch you. I made that mistake, once [-X ) For what you are doing I like to mix it thinner, about ketchup consistency, so it is self-leveling. Helps cut down on sanding effort before applying your epoxy for waterproofing. You can also buy Cabosil (silica dust) to use as an epoxy thickener but saw dust will work fine here. I only use the Cabosil when mixing the epoxy for gluing purposes. [/QUOTE]
